Next mix together the ranch dressing mix, bacon, cream of chicken soup, milk, cheese, and rice. Pour the rice mixture over the chicken.

NOTES:
Do not cook rice in advance. I used Great Value Long-Grain Rice.
I used a Hamilton Beach 6-qt Slow Cooker. It took 3 1/2 hours.
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.
