Description
A comforting and hands-off dinner that combines chicken, broccoli, and rich cheddar cheese in a silky creamy sauce, all made effortlessly in a slow cooker.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs Chicken Breast
- 4 cups Broccoli Florets
- 2 cups Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- 1 can Cream Soup, condensed (e.g., cream of chicken or cream of mushroom)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- 1 cup Chicken Broth
Instructions
- Trim excess fat from the chicken breasts and place them in the crockpot.
- Place broccoli florets on top of the chicken.
- In a bowl, whisk together cream soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken and broccoli, coating them well.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until chicken is tender.
- Stir in cheddar cheese 30 minutes before serving.
- Use two forks to shred the chicken in the crockpot and mix it with the sauce.
Notes
Cooking on low for 6–8 hours is ideal; use high for quicker dinner but monitor broccoli timing to ensure it doesn’t become mushy. For leftovers, store in an airtight container for 3–4 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 2 months.
