Instructions

How to Make Crockpot Creamy Broccoli Cheddar Chicken

  • Start by placing thawed chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper evenly on top for a tasty base flavor.
  • Pour the cream of chicken soup over the seasoned chicken, making sure to cover it completely. This will create a rich, creamy sauce.
  • Gently add broccoli florets on top of the chicken and soup mixture. They’ll cook down nicely, adding nutrition and color.
  • Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the chicken is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Once cooked, stir in the cheddar cheese until it melts completely, creating a creamy and luscious sauce that envelops the chicken and broccoli beautifully.
  • Give the dish a final seasoning check, then serve it over rice, quinoa, or with crusty bread for a complete meal. Enjoy!

Notes

Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Ensure chicken breasts are completely thawed for the best texture.
