Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of chicken soup
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or line it with a slow cooker liner to prevent sticking.
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker in a single layer.
In a medium bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream cheese, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours or on high heat for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once the chicken is done cooking, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker. Alternatively, you can leave the chicken breasts whole if preferred.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the chicken and sauce. Cover and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes on low heat, or until the cheese is melted.
Stir everything together to combine the melted cheese into the sauce, ensuring it's well mixed.
Serve the cheesy chicken hot over your choice of rice, pasta, or with a side of vegetables. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
