Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 8 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • salt to taste

  • cooked pasta optional

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Method
 

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker. Season evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. In a bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup and heavy cream. Pour the mixture over the chicken.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 3 to 4 hours until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
  4. About 30 minutes before serving, add the broccoli florets and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir gently until the cheese melts completely.
  5. Sprinkle the cooked crumbled bacon over the top just before serving.
  6. Serve warm over rice or pasta if desired.

Notes

For the best texture, add broccoli near the end of cooking to prevent it from becoming mushy. Freshly shredded cheddar cheese melts more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for future meals.
