Looking for a crockpot meal with chicken and broccoli?
I was standing in my kitchen in the late morning, trying to figure out a recipe to throw in the slow cooker that used broccoli I had in the refrigerator that was close to retirement.
I wanted a recipe that was easy. You know what I mean, throw everything in the slow cooker, give it a stir, set the timer and come back to a delicious meal that will leave the whole family happy after a tiring weekday.
Crockpot Chicken With Cream of Mushroom Soup is one of my go to slow cooker meals so I came up with this equally creamy (but also cheesy!) crockpot chicken and broccoli!
In just a couple hours, dinner will be ready! Serve this cheesy chicken and broccoli over egg noodles or rice for a complete crockpot meal!
How long does chicken and broccoli take in the slow cooker?
This meal takes 6 hours on LOW or 4 hours on HIGH in the slow cooker.
Ingredients
Cream of Mushroom/Chicken Soup Swaps
I love this recipe with 1 can of cream of mushroom soup and 1 can cream of chicken soup but you can absolutely use 2 cans of the same soup if you want. Sometimes when I’m all out of cream of chicken, I will use 2 cans of cream of mushroom and it’s still amazing! Since it has broccoli in the recipe, you could even use a can of cream of broccoli soup and it would work great!
Serve with Rice or Egg Noodles
Our favorite ways to serve this meal is over a bed of either wide egg noodles, or cooked white rice. Both are great as they will soak up the cream sauce! Also, dinner rolls are always a must with this dish!
How to Make Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli in the Crockpot
Add chicken into the slow cooker. I prefer dicing it up, but if you want it shredded, you can leave the chicken whole, and then shred at the very end. Add beef soup mix on top of the chicken. Add broccoli and onions. Now add the cream soups. Finallly, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. Mix it all up so it’s combined well. Cook on high or low depending on how much time you have and enjoy those smells coming from your kitchen! Sprinkle a little more shredded cheese on top. Close the lid for a few minutes to allow it to melt all over the chicken and broccoli. Serve and enjoy!
Storing Leftovers & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For freezing, freeze in an airtight freezer bag for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator or defrost in the microwave. The texture of the broccoli will soften over time, but overall it remains a good freezer meal.
