Slice the chicken breasts in half, and season them with half of the pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 2 teaspoons ground black pepper, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 2 teaspoons onion powder
Heat the oil in a large skillet set over medium heat, and add the chicken. Cook each side just until browned and transfer them to a plate.
2 tablespoons olive oil
Whisk together the rice, half the cheddar cheese, chicken broth, broccoli, cream of chicken soup, cream of broccoli soup, onion soup mix, Italian seasoning, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in the Crockpot.
2 cups long-grain rice, 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth, 10 ounces frozen broccoli florets, 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup, 10.5 ounces cream of broccoli soup, 2 ounces onion soup mix, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Add the chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture.
Cover and set to HIGH for 4 hours; or LOW for 6 hours.
During the last 30 minutes of cooking, top the chicken with the remaining cheese and place the cover back on to finish cooking.
1 cups shredded cheddar cheese

*This recipe was created and tested using boneless chicken breasts. Using boneless thighs would require an increase in cook time.

**Use a long-grain rice--no short grains and no instant rice varieties!

***No need to thaw before adding to the Crockpot.

****You can use any combination of cream of soup varieties.

Tips:

Feel free to mix your favorite 10 to 12-ounce bag of frozen vegetables into this recipe instead of just broccoli. Peas and carrots work great!
Searing the chicken before adding it to the Crockpot ensures it cooks through properly, and adds a nicer texture to the final result.
As soon as the lid goes on, do not peek! We need all of the steam to keep this dish moist!

Storage: Store crockpot no peek chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
