Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked brown rice
  • 1 cup white onion chopped
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 15-ounce can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli chopped
  • 1 cup mild cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

  • Prepare the slow cooker by coating it with a light coating of cooking spray.
  • Add the uncooked brown rice, chopped onion, salt, black pepper, granulated garlic, and Italian seasoning to the slow cooker and mix to combine.
  • Stir in the condensed cream of chicken soup and chicken stock until well blended.
  • Season the chicken breast cubes with a pinch of salt and pepper, then add them to the slow cooker, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  • Cover and cook on low for 2 hours.
  • After 2 hours, add the chopped broccoli to the slow cooker, stirring gently to combine. Cover again and cook for an additional 2 hours on low.
  • Once the cooking time is complete, stir in the shredded mild cheddar cheese until melted and fully incorporated.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Try using a slow cooker liner instead of cooking spray for easier cleanup. 
  • Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days, making this dish great for meal prep.
  • You can use low sodium chicken stock and adjust the salt after cooking.
