Here’s a simple and comforting Crockpot Cheesy Chicken recipe—creamy, cheesy, and perfect for a set-it-and-forget-it dinner.
🍗 Crockpot Cheesy Chicken
Serves: 4–6
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (10.5 oz / 300 g) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of cheddar and mozzarella)
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1/2 cup cooked rice or pasta for serving
- Optional garnish: chopped parsley or green onions
Instructions:
- Prepare the chicken
- Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Place in the crockpot.
- Mix the sauce
- In a bowl, combine cream of chicken soup and sour cream.
- Pour over the chicken in the crockpot.
- Cook
- Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until chicken is tender.
- Add cheese
- About 15–20 minutes before serving, sprinkle shredded cheese over the chicken.
- Cover again to melt the cheese.
- Serve
- Serve chicken with the creamy sauce over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
- Garnish with parsley or green onions if desired.
✅ Tips
- For extra flavor, add 1 tsp paprika or 1/2 tsp cayenne to the seasoning.
- Use frozen chicken breasts if in a hurry; just increase cooking time slightly.
- For a lower-carb version, serve over cauliflower rice instead of regular rice or pasta.
- Leftovers store well in the fridge for 3–4 days and reheat gently.
If you want, I can also give a crockpot version with broccoli and mozzarella baked in for a cheesy chicken casserole-style meal.
