  • Total Time: 3 hours 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.52 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz) (or cream of mushroom)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • ½ cup milk (any kind)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 4 cups frozen broccoli florets
  • 2 cups instant white rice (uncooked)
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided

Instructions

  1. Place chicken breasts in an even layer at the bottom of a 6-quart or larger slow cooker.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Pour evenly over chicken.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours, or on HIGH for 2–3 hours until chicken is cooked through and shreds easily.
  4. Remove chicken and shred with two forks.
  5. Return shredded chicken to slow cooker. Add frozen broccoli and uncooked rice, spreading evenly without stirring.
  6. Cover and cook on HIGH for 30–45 minutes, until rice is tender and broccoli is crisp-tender.
  7. Stir in 1½ cups cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
  8. Sprinkle remaining ½ cup cheese on top, cover for 5–10 minutes until melted and bubbly.
  9. Serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

  • Serve with a light side salad or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
  • Leftovers store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3–4 days.
