Slow Cooker Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Directions:
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and sprinkle both sides with salt and black pepper.
Lay the seasoned chicken breasts in the bottom of a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker in an even layer.
Spoon the reduced-fat cream of chicken soup over the chicken and spread it gently to cover. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese over the top, reserving the remaining 1/4 cup for later.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or on HIGH for 2 1/2–3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
About 30–45 minutes before serving, stir in the broccoli florets, tucking them down into the sauce around the chicken. If using frozen broccoli, do not thaw it first; just break up any large clumps. Cover and continue cooking on HIGH until the broccoli is tender but still bright, about 30 minutes.
Once the broccoli is tender, turn off the slow cooker and let the sauce cool slightly for a few minutes. Stir in the plain 0% Greek yogurt until the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.
Use two forks to gently shred the chicken right in the slow cooker, mixing it into the cheesy sauce and broccoli. Taste and adjust seasoning with a little more salt and pepper if needed.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese over the top, cover for 5–10 minutes until melted, then serve hot.
For a lower-point serving, spoon it over cauliflower rice, steamed vegetables, or a small portion of brown rice if desired. For a bit of smoky flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika before serving, or sprinkle each serving with 1 teaspoon crumbled cooked center-cut bacon if desired.
