Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Broth

  • 2 lbs Chicken Breast
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth

Vegetables

  • 4 cups Broccoli Florets

Dairy and Soup

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

Seasonings

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Place two pounds of chicken breasts evenly in the bottom of your slow cooker to ensure uniform cooking.
  2. Add the Soup: Pour a can of condensed cream soup evenly over the chicken, coating it well for a creamy base.
  3. Mix in the Broccoli: Spread the broccoli florets on top of the chicken to allow them to tenderize during cooking.
  4. Season: Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper evenly across the ingredients for enhanced flavor.
  5. Pour in the Broth: Add one cup of chicken broth to help meld the flavors and ensure a moist cooking environment.
  6. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  7. Add Cheese: Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the crockpot, then stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and the mixture is creamy.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Add your preferred garnishes, such as freshly chopped parsley or green onions, and serve warm for a comforting meal.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen broccoli florets depending on availability.
  • Can substitute cream soup with a homemade white sauce for a healthier option.
  • Adjust seasoning to personal taste; add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated on the stovetop or microwave.
  • For a low-carb option, serve over cauliflower rice or steamed vegetables.
