Creamy Chicken and Rice Soup

1 pound of chicken cut into cubes
1/2 cup uncooked rice
1/4 cup chopped onions
2 can of cream of potato soup
1 can chicken broth
1/4 tsp garlic powder
2 cups sliced carrots
 1 cup half and half

place chicken in slow cooker
mix rice, broth, garlic powder, and carrots together and pour over chicken
cover and cook on low 7-8 hours
stir in half and half - cover and cook another 15-30 min until hot.

{I usually use cream of mushroom instead of cream of potato - just because that what I buy in bulk.  I also sometimes mix up step 2 the night before and let it sit in the fridge.  It gives the rice a bit of a head start and it's even easier to assemble in the morning}
