Description
This Crockpot Chicken and Broccoli is a healthy, easy slow cooker dinner packed with flavor. Tender chicken and crisp broccoli simmer in a savory garlic soy glaze that tastes better than takeout, all with minimal effort.
Ingredients
- 3 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 6 cups broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Season the chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and paprika.
2. In the crockpot, combine chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and hoisin sauce. Add the seasoned chicken and toss to coat.
3. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours or HIGH for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken is tender.
4. Remove 1/4 cup of sauce from the crockpot and mix it with the cornstarch until smooth. Pour it back into the crockpot and stir to combine.
5. Add the broccoli on top, cover, and cook on HIGH for 20 minutes, until the sauce thickens and broccoli is tender-crisp.
6. Serve hot over rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
Notes
Add broccoli at the end of cooking to keep it crisp-tender.
Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt.
For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheat easily in a skillet or microwave.
