Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 cups Cooked white or brown rice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Spray the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease it with oil to prevent sticking.
Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and chicken broth. Stir well to create a smooth mixture.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the soup mixture and stir to incorporate the seasonings evenly.
Pour the mixture over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, ensuring they are fully covered.
Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-7 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove the lid and shred the chicken directly in the crockpot using two forks.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the crockpot and stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Serve the cheesy chicken over cooked white or brown rice. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
