Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cups Broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 10.5 ounces Cream of chicken soup
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 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
- 4 cups Cooked white or brown rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or line it with a slow-cooker liner for easy cleanup.
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot in a single layer.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, cream cheese, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the mixture over the chicken breasts, making sure they are fully coated.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
About 30 minutes before the cooking time is complete, add the broccoli florets to the crock pot, spreading them evenly over the top of the chicken.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the broccoli and chicken, then re-cover the slow cooker and allow the cheese to melt and the broccoli to steam.
Once the cooking time is finished, stir gently to mix the cheese into the sauce, and shred the chicken if desired. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
To serve, spoon the broccoli cheese chicken over cooked rice, if using, and enjoy!
