Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by chopping the broccoli into bite-sized florets, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking. Take your chicken breasts, whether fresh or frozen, and season them generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Place the seasoned chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker. Layer the chopped broccoli over the chicken, creating a colorful base. Open a can of cream of chicken soup and pour it evenly over the broccoli and chicken.
  3. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, and additional black pepper over the ingredients in the slow cooker. Make sure the seasonings are evenly distributed for consistent taste throughout the dish.
  4. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6 hours, or on high for 3 hours. You’ll know it’s ready when the chicken is fork-tender and the broccoli is vibrant.
  5. Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the lid. Stir in a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese, letting it melt into a creamy sauce that envelops the chicken and broccoli.
  6. Spoon the delicious Crockpot Creamy Broccoli Cheddar Chicken over your choice of fluffy rice, hearty quinoa, or alongside crusty bread. Enjoy!
