Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by rinsing your chicken breasts under cold water and patting them dry. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
  2. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet, searing for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the crockpot, combine cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper, stirring until smooth.
  4. Place the seared chicken breasts into the crockpot, pressing down to submerge them in the sauce mix.
  5. Top the chicken with broccoli florets, evenly distributing them across the surface.
  6. Cover the crockpot and set it to low for 4-5 hours until the chicken is fork-tender.
  7. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in shredded cheddar cheese and cream cheese until melted and creamy.
  8. Serve the Crockpot Creamy Broccoli Cheddar Chicken over cooked rice or pasta.
