Tags: broccoli, chicken, quick fix meal, rice
This Creamy Crockpot Chicken and Broccoli Over Rice is the perfect weeknight slow cooked meal that the whole family will love!
Welcome to Picky Palate! If you are coming from Pinterest, it’s great to have you 🙂
I’m such a fan of quick fix simple family dinner ideas. This Creamy Crockpot Chicken and Broccoli Over Rice has been a family favorite crockpot recipe for years.
It literally takes 5 minutes to get everything in the crockpot…you close the lid and forget about it for a few hours.
Serve this saucy chicken and broccoli over steamed rice and dinner is served. This recipe makes for great leftovers too. We’ve even had the chicken inside burritos the next day or over toast. Lots of options.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Here are your ingredients. Simple simple!! You’ll add everything but the broccoli and sour cream to the crockpot. Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6. Right before serving you will add your sour cream and steamed broccoli. Love this dinner!
Just about ready to serve!

I love broccoli! But I can ever seem to spell it right. I had to look over to the left, to check my spelling.
Maybe I should invest in a crockpot, because there really are lots of things you can cook in it.
Okay, this is going into my crockpot for tonight’s dinner. I LOVE my crockpot – I use it at least 3 times a week, if only to cook chicken. It’s really the only way I like my chicken cooked – so tender and yummy. Thanks, Jenny!
Emiline,
Now I’m worried I’ve been spelling broccoli wrong! I hope I’ve got it right, I never spell checked it!
I don’t use my crockpot that often, but when I do I always enjoy the food!!
Kameron,
Hope you like this dish. My family went nuts for it. Glad you utilize your crockpot. I agree, chicken is the best in the crockpot. Enjoy!! Let me know how it turns out.
I could only fine the cream soups in that size can, condensed. Is that what the recipe requires, or do I have to dilute it?
Just wanted to thank you for all your yummy recipes. I’m not quite sure how I ran across your blog, but I am sure glad that I did! We share the same faith, and the same love of food…only you’re a better cook! So thanks!

Thanks for posting. Glad to have you here. Enjoy!!
This looks soooo good.
Thanks Jessica!
It’s a real comfort food when it’s nice and cold out.
This was a big hit. Everyone loved it, so it’s going in my favorites file. Thanks!
Great Kameron!
I’ve added it to my favorites as well!
I’ve asked for a new crockpot for Christmas (mine is tiny, plus I want a programmable one!) so I am looking for all kinds of crockpot recipes. This sounds great!
Yummm! This looks really good! I’m adding it to my “to try” list. 🙂
Hi! I just found your blog through my sister, and love it! You’re bookmarked.
I’m trying the broccoli/chicken tonight.
Made this for Friday night and it was so yummy!!!! That’s was I had for lunch yesterday as well!! You are the best! I’ve got the Buttery Cinnabun Cake in the oven right now. Keep the recipes coming!!!!!

I followed a link to your blog and I am glad I did, everything looks so delicious! I went and bought the ingredients for this, but I could obly find 10 3/4 ounce soup cans ( or 32 ounce) no 14… Which brand do you use?
Hi Demarcus Family,
I think that was a typo on my part. Just use the 10 oz can. I just use Campbells. Hope you enjoy!
All the fixings are ready in the fridge for tomorrow… can’t wait to try this one! 🙂
I’m excited to try this 🙂 Making it today. I came across this recipe on Pinterest, and can’t wait to look through the other recipes too! Thanks

It’s cooking in the crock pot now! I can’t wait until dinner… It smells soo good! Thanks for sharing your recipe 🙂
Hi! I tried your recipe today and I altered it just a bit. I used frozen chicken (ahh laziness!) and I also used just 2 ounces extra of chicken broth. I loved it soooo much. Im sharing it with… well.. everyone I know!
Is there any way I could do this in the oven? My crockpot recently broke, and this recipe looks TOO good to not try tomorrow night!
Do you use frozen or thawed chicken?
I was curious if I could turn this into a freezer meal recipe. Just leave out the broccoli and sour cream till it’s time to add it. Well now that I type this I think i’m just gonna give it a shot and see how it fairs. -crossing fingers-
I tried this last night and my bunch really liked it. I used normandy blend veggies instead of just broccoli. I also added peas. At the end my sauce was REALLY thin so next time I will cut back on the broth. I added Velveeta to thicken it up a bit. We ate it over brown rice…but I think it would also be good over a biscuit:) Will definitely keep this one in our rotation.
Mine was also watery. Glad to see someone else had the same issue!
This is a great recipe. I used fat free soups, broth, cheddar cheese, and sour cream and it was still really good.

All I have are thighs. Could I use those and just take Em out and peel the meet off when they’re done? If so, would I leve skin on or off?
Yes you can. Your choice whether you want the skin off or on. Sorry for the late response. 🙂
Wow…meat* haha 🙂 I promise I know how to spell lol well, except maybe broccoli. I, too always mess that one up 🙂
Can i put the broccoli in raw in the beginning.
Yes you can.
I recently came across this recipe on pinterest. The only way to get my 2 toddlers to eat veggies is to mix them with meat and cheese. This recipe sounds perfect for them! I plan on making it tonight. Can I put the chicken in frozen or is it best to be defrosted?
You can put the chicken in frozen but it will take longer to cook it so plan on more than 6 hours. 🙂 Sorry for the late response.
I absolutely loved this recipe (so did my husband and children!). I featured it on my own website and credited you for the recipe! Thanks again! http://hotcookinmama1.blogspot.com/2013/08/creamy-crock-pot-chicken-and-broccoli.html
Do you stir occasionally or just leave it untouched for the 6 hrs?
It’s not necessary but I stir it occasionally.
Have you ever subbed yogurt for the sour cream?
We haven’t tried it in this recipe but we do sub Greek yogurt for mayo in other dishes. I like your idea but we haven’t tried it yet. 🙂
This might be a silly question as I don’t use my slow cooker all that often, but do u have to cook chicken before placing it in or just raw? It seems too easy. Lol thanks
Hi Antoinette, you can use raw thawed chicken directly into the slow cooker. 🙂
I just made this delicious meal! However mine was quite watery! I followed the steps word for word and I guess I thought maybe it would be thicker. Is this something that other people have experienced also?
I went through the comments briefly to see if other experienced this and couldn’t find any. I’m going to remake this as it’s been awhile so look out for an update in the post. 🙂
when you shred chicken and add the sour cream and broccoli do you cook it further or just mix in and serve?
Hi Becky, since the broccoli is steamed and the chicken is cooked you can serve right away. 🙂
Oh My Gosh!! I Am In Love With This I Found It On Pinterest And Gahh It Tastes Soo good Thank You Thank you For sharing It with Us!Just Made It Today…And I’m Already Sharing It With others…Mainly My Mom!
