Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 lbs Chicken Breast
  • 4 cups Broccoli Florets

Dairy and Soup

  • 2 cups Cheddar Cheese, shredded
  • 1 can Cream Soup, condensed (10.5 oz)

Seasonings and Liquids

  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by placing two pounds of chicken breasts evenly in your slow cooker to ensure uniform cooking.
  2. Add the Soup: Pour a can of condensed cream soup over the chicken, spreading it evenly to coat the pieces.
  3. Mix in the Broccoli: Layer four cups of broccoli florets evenly on top of the chicken and soup mixture to ensure they cook tenderly.
  4. Season: Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over the contents to enhance the flavors.
  5. Pour in the Broth: Carefully add one cup of chicken broth to combine the ingredients and create a moist environment for slow cooking.
  6. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, depending on your schedule and desired tenderness.
  7. Add Cheese: Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the crockpot, then stir in two cups of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Finish with your choice of garnishes such as fresh herbs or extra cheese, then serve hot and enjoy this comforting meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute broccoli with cauliflower or mixed vegetables for variety.
  • For a lower-fat version, use reduced-fat cheddar cheese and cream soup.
  • Ensure the chicken is fully cooked by checking that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for meal prep.
  • Add cooked rice or pasta to serve this as a complete meal.
