Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional)
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot. Season them with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and milk until smooth. Pour this mixture over the chicken.
- Add the broccoli florets on top of the chicken and soup mixture. If using frozen broccoli, no need to thaw—just toss it in.
- Set your crockpot to cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be tender and cooked through.
- About 30 minutes before the cooking time is up, shred the chicken using two forks. Stir it back into the sauce to combine.
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted and creamy. If the sauce is too thin, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and stir it in to thicken.
- Let the dish cook for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve hot and enjoy!
