Crock Pot Chicken Long Rice
A Hawaii classic, this is the short cut way. This recipe is so easy it’s ridiculous. I remember making it a lot when I was trying to get the babies started on solid foods. The kids loved it. Personally I find it very comforting when I have a cold or just feel cold.
Ingredients:
2 cans chicken broth
2 chicken breasts
2 (serving) packets of long rice
1 small brown onion
4 green onions
couple of slices of ginger
Put the chicken breasts in the bottom of the pot. Sit the long rice bundles next to them. Chop onions and throw on top. Nestle the ginger into the mix.
Pour cans of chicken broth over the ingredients, then add enough water to cover the chicken and the noodles.
Turn on the pot to HIGH.
Go away.
Come back 4
hours later.
Add salt and pepper to taste. You don’t have to put the onions – in fact my kids insist that I DON’T. You can also add mushrooms if you like.
This looks like sludge, but it’s delish – as a side dish or a main dish!

Long rice? According to māʻona.com, that’s also known as cellophane noodles — is this correct?
Sure looks good to me – onions and mushrooms and all.
Ooh I’ve been wanting chicken long rice for awhile now. I forgot about your crock pot rendition. I only with the boy would eat it!!! Is it soupy? I rather like it soupy, reminds me of the Pilipino dish called chicken sotanghon. I s’pose after it cooks in the crock pot i can add more broth huh? I think I’ll cut up a whole chicken and use the breasts for this and the rest of the chicken in your honey shoyu chicken. unfortunately i only hve 1 crock pot.
Kids, husband, in-laws ALL loved it!
what the hell is long rice? are they like rice noodles? wheat? can i use somen noodles?
@Celia
Do NOT use somen. Long rice that long dry white noodle in bundles in the pink netting. Super cheap, like 99cents for 6 bundles.
It looks delicious and so easy but how many people does this recipe serve?
@Lauren It depends on the portion. You can serve it as a main dish or a side. I’d say between 4 and 6.
Hi Jenn, I really want to make this tonight. Are the chicken breasts frozen?
Mahalo!
@Donna
You can use frozen chicken breasts or thawed – if thawed it won’t take as long to cook.
I never thought about using the crock pot for chicken long rice. Thank you for a totally awesome idea!
