Ingredients
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 cups fresh broccoli florets
1 cup chopped yellow onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 cup cooked white rice, cooled
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Spray the inside of a 6-quart slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
Place the cut chicken breasts evenly in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Add the fresh broccoli florets and chopped onion on top of the chicken.
In a medium bowl, combine the minced garlic, condensed cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, chicken broth, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and paprika. Stir until well mixed.
Pour the cheese and soup mixture evenly over the chicken and broccoli in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is tender.
After cooking, gently stir in the cooked white rice until evenly combined with the casserole.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Cover and cook on LOW for an additional 15 minutes to melt the Parmesan cheese.
Serve the casserole warm, directly from the slow cooker.
