Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 lbs Chicken Breast

Vegetables

  • 4 cups Broccoli Florets

Dairy

  • 2 cups Cheddar Cheese, shredded

Pantry

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream Soup, condensed (such as cream of chicken or cream of mushroom)
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by placing two pounds of chicken breasts into your slow cooker. Arrange them evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  2. Add the Soup: Pour the can of condensed cream soup over the chicken, spreading it evenly to cover the meat.
  3. Mix in the Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets on top of the chicken and soup, distributing them evenly so they cook tender throughout.
  4. Season: Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over all the ingredients to infuse flavor.
  5. Pour in the Broth: Carefully add one cup of chicken broth to help combine the ingredients and maintain moisture during cooking.
  6. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, depending on your available time.
  7. Add Cheese: Once cooking is complete, shred the chicken directly in the crockpot, then stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Add your favorite garnishes such as fresh herbs or extra cheese if desired, then serve this warm, delicious dish immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute broccoli with cauliflower or a mix of vegetables for variation.
  • If you prefer lower fat, use reduced-fat cheddar cheese and a low-fat cream soup.
  • For a gluten-free version, ensure the cream soup and broth are certified gluten-free.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This recipe freezes well; reheat thoroughly before serving.
  • Shredding the chicken in the crockpot allows it to soak up even more of the creamy sauce flavor.
