Recipe Highlights
No Peek Chicken is a creamy retro casserole
The meaning of “no-peek” is that you want to keep this casserole covered while cooking
Comforting, easy, and family-friendly
Key Ingredients
- Chicken Breasts – Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Minute® Rice – A must for this recipe; regular rice won’t cook properly.
- Cream Soups – One can each of cream of chicken and cream of mushroom.
- Lipton® Onion Soup Mix – One packet adds big flavor.
- Seasonings – Garlic powder and black pepper keep it simple.
How to Make No Peek Chicken
- Mix up a creamy, seasoned blend with rice and soup.
- Layer some of the mixture in the slow cooker, then add the chicken and top it all off.
- Sprinkle on something savory to finish it off.
- Cover it up and let it cook—no peeking until it’s done and delicious!
Sarah’s Notes & Variations
- Minute brand Jasmine or brown rice will work in this recipe
- Onions and mushrooms are perfect additions if you want it to be more hearty.
- Chicken thighs can be used instead of chicken breasts
- Do not add salt to this recipe, the cream soup and onion soup mix have enough sodium as is.
How to Serve
- This is a full meal in itself in one pot; no sides are really necessary.
- If you want to round out the meal, add a green side dish such as steamed broccoli or a fresh green salad.

I have cooked long-grain brown rice in the crockpot, which usually takes about 3 hours on high. Why couldn’t I add the other ingredients?
