Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup Low-sodium variant recommended.
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of broccoli soup Low-sodium variant recommended.
  • 1 cup mayonnaise Can substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese Use low-sodium variants if necessary.
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups broccoli florets Fresh or frozen.
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • optional Panko breadcrumbs, crushed Ritz crackers, or French fried onions For topping.
  • optional cooked noodles or rice For serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer in the bottom of the crockpot.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream of broccoli soup, mayonnaise, grated Parmesan, Dijon, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until smooth.
  3. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken, making sure each piece gets coated.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours, or until the thickest part of the chicken registers 165°F and shreds easily with a fork.
  2. About 30–45 minutes before serving, stir in the broccoli florets so they steam but stay bright and slightly firm.
  3. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar over the chicken and broccoli, cover, and let the cheese melt for 10–15 minutes.
  4. If desired, transfer portions to an oven-safe dish, top with panko, crushed crackers, or French fried onions, and broil for 1–2 minutes until browned.
Serving
  1. Serve over cooked rice or egg noodles and finish with extra Parmesan or cracked black pepper.

Notes

For gluten-free options, swap Panko for crushed gluten-free crackers or omit the crunchy topping. You can also use shredded rotisserie chicken to reduce cooking time.
