Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken & Broccoli
Ingredients (serves 4-6):
1.5 lbs (≈700g) raw diced chicken breast or thighs
4 cups frozen broccoli florets
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup (or mushroom for variety)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional but melty and tasty)
1/2 cup milk or cream
Salt & pepper to taste
Optional: 1 tsp garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavor
Instructions:
Prep the ingredients
Dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
No need to thaw the broccoli — it can go in frozen.
Layer in slow cooker
Place the diced chicken at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Spread the frozen broccoli on top.
Pour the cream of chicken soup and milk evenly over everything.
Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Cook
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours, or HIGH for 2–3 hours.
Chicken should be fully cooked and broccoli tender.
Finish
Stir in shredded cheese just before serving if desired.
Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
Serve
Great over rice, pasta, or even on its own for a low-carb option.
✅ Tips:
You can add a splash of soy sauce or hot sauce for extra flavor.
For a creamier texture, stir in 2–3 tablespoons of cream cheese during the last 30 minutes.
This dish is basically “set it and forget it,” and it disappears fast at the dinner table because it’s that comforting.
If you want, I can also give you a super cheesy, golden-baked version that you can make entirely in the slow cooker at the end — it tastes like a restaurant casserole.
Do you want me to show that version too?
