Method

  1. Lightly grease the inside of the slow cooker, then add the uncooked rice, chicken breasts, and broccoli florets; season the chicken with salt and black pepper.

  2. In a bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, then pour the sauce over the chicken, rice, and broccoli.

  3. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2.5 to 3 hours or on LOW for 4 to 5 hours, until the chicken reaches 165°F (165°F) and the rice is tender.

  4. Remove the lid, shred or chop the chicken if desired, stir to coat everything in the sauce, sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of cheddar cheese on top, cover for 5 minutes until melted, and serve warm.
