Do not cook rice in advance.
I used Great Value Long-Grain Rice.
This recipe is formulated to use long-grain white rice. I have not made this with brown rice. Brown rice and white rice are not equal substitutes. Brown rice uses more liquid and takes much longer to cook.
To avoid sticky rice, rinse your rice before adding it to the slow cooker. Rinsing the rice removes excess start that causes the rice to plump and stick together.
Do not make the Ranch dressing. You are using only the dry mix.
Here is our recipe for Homemade Ranch Dressing Mix: https://www.plainchicken.com/homemade-ranch-dressing-mix/
I used a Hamilton Beach 6-qt Slow Cooker. It took 3 ½ hours.
Do not open the lid while the rice is cooking. When you lift the lid, the carefully calculated rice-water ratio is thrown off which will result in dry and undercooked rice. Unless you’re adding seasoning or checking how much water remains, leave it alone.
The rice will not be light and fluffy like plain cooked rice. The rice is soft. This is a casserole. The mixture will be somewhat thick.
Can use frozen chicken breasts.
Can substitute turkey bacon.
