Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

2 pieces chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)

Sauce

1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Vegetables and Cheese

2 cups broccoli (fresh or frozen)
2 cups cheddar cheese (shredded, divided)

Instructions

Prepare the chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of a greased crockpot, ensuring even layering for consistent cooking.
Make the creamy sauce: In a medium bowl, gently whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all spices are well incorporated.
Combine chicken and sauce: Pour the creamy mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, making sure each piece is thoroughly coated for maximum flavor absorption.
Cook the chicken: Cover the crockpot and cook the chicken on low heat for 4 to 5 hours or on high heat for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked through.
Shred and add vegetables and cheese: Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks directly in the crockpot, then stir in the broccoli and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Continue cooking for another 20 to 30 minutes to heat the broccoli and melt the cheese.
Finish with cheese topping: Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top, cover the crockpot, and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve warm, ideally over cooked rice.

Notes

You can use fresh or frozen broccoli depending on what you have available; just ensure it is cut into bite-sized florets.
For a lower-fat option, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt and use low-fat cheddar cheese.
Adjust seasoning levels to taste; you may reduce salt if using low-sodium cream of chicken soup.
Serving over rice or mashed potatoes makes for a complete and filling meal.
