Creamy Crockpot Chicken and Broccoli Over Rice

This was a big hit with everyone! It was easy and a good way to add some broccoli to the diet 😀 Admittedly, not the healthiest with all the sodium-packed soups, sour cream and cheese but still a great dish.

From Picky Palate:

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 14 ounce can Cream of Chicken Soup
• 14 ounce can Cheddar Soup
• 14 ounces Chicken Broth
• 1/2 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 cup sour cream
• 6 cups steamed broccoli florets (Boiled in hot water for 3 minutes then drained) *I picked up a couple of the frozen, steamable bags
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 
  
• Place soups, chicken broth, Cajun and garlic salt into a crockpot over low heat.  Whisk until smooth.  Add chicken, pressing to the bottom. Cover lid and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours. *I mixed everything in a bowl, put the chicken in and poured the soup, etc over. I did this because I used a crockpot liner so whisking in the bag would have been tricky.

• When chicken is cooked, use 2 forks to shred into bite size pieces.  Stir in sour cream and broccoli.
• 
  
• Serve over steamed rice and sprinkle with cheese if desired (the cheese adds a lot, I recommend it! I grated from a large block. Adding pepper was a nice extra touch as well.) 

Cheesy Chicken in the Crock Pot

This one is from a tin of crock pot recipes and I hadn't made it in a while.  I've discovered that cooking overnight is best for me and especially with my older crock.  It turned out delicious and easy...and inexpensive. 

6 count or about 1 1\2 lbs chicken breasts
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 can cheese sauce (from the soup isle)
Salt and pepper
2 cloves garlic (recipe calls for garlic powder but I minced fresh garlic)
Pasta, rice, or potatoes to serve over (I used rotini pasta)
Parsley

Lay half of the chicken at the bottom of the crock pot and season with salt, pepper, and garlic. Repeat with rest of the chicken.  Mix the soups in a small bowl and pour over the chicken.  Cook on low 6-8 hours.  Pour mixture over the pasta of your choice and sprinkle with parsley.

When ready, I mixed the chicken and sauce in the crock so that the chicken shredded as I mixed.  After I cooked and drained the pasta, I mixed it all together.

Next time I would like to add in some red pepper flakes to spice it up!
