Place the chicken thighs in the crockpot insert. Season with half of the salt and pepper.
1½-2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
In a large bowl, whisk the soups, chicken broth, onion powder, garlic powder, remaining salt and pepper, and rice. Pour over the chicken.

Notes

If the rice isn't cooked through, keep cooking! Temperature can vary in different crockpot models, so yours may need more time.
If the rice seems dry, add more stock as needed to help it continue to cook!

Storage: Store chicken and rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. I don’t recommend freezing leftovers as cream-based recipes become grainy when thawed.
