Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen broccoli florets
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Optional: Cooked rice or pasta for serving

Instructions

  1. Rinse chicken breasts under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and heat until shimmering.
  3. Add chicken breasts and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. In a large crockpot, combine cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper; mix until smooth.
  5. Add the seared chicken breasts to the crockpot, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce.
  6. Spread broccoli florets on top of the chicken in the crockpot.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until chicken is thoroughly cooked and tender.
  8. About 30 minutes before serving, add shredded cheddar cheese and softened cream cheese; stir gently until melted and creamy, then serve over cooked rice or pasta if desired.

Notes

Pat the chicken dry before searing for better browning. Use freshly shredded cheddar for optimal texture and flavor.
