Description

This cheesy chicken and broccoli crock pot recipe is a delicious, easy-to-make meal that is sure to please the whole family. It is made with just a few simple ingredients and is cooked in a slow cooker for a perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful dish. The chicken is simmered in a cheesy sauce that is made with cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and chicken broth, and the broccoli is cooked in the same slow cooker for the last few hours. This is a hearty, comforting meal that is perfect for busy weeknights or lazy weekends when you just want to relax and not worry about cooking.

Prep Time

This meal takes about 10 minutes to prepare and assemble in the slow cooker. If you're using frozen chicken, it's best to thaw it in the refrigerator overnight so that it's ready to go when you're ready to make the meal.

Cook Time

This recipe takes about 3 hours to cook in a slow cooker. The chicken and broccoli will be tender and the sauce will be creamy and flavorful. You can adjust the cooking time if you need to, but it's best to keep the cooking time around 3 hours for optimal results.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen broccoli florets
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Top with cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and chicken broth. Drizzle with melted butter.

2. Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours, or until chicken is cooked through and tender. Add the broccoli during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

3. Serve over cooked rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!

Recipe Tips

If you’re short on time, you can use pre-cooked chicken and just add it to the slow cooker during the last hour of cooking.

For a spicier version, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
