Cook Time 30 mins

Total Time 3 hrs 30 mins

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless/skinless chicken breasts
• 2 10 oz Steam bag of broccoli (you may also use fresh)
• 2 tb butter
• 6 oz Philadelphia Cream Cheese
• 1 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
• 12 oz sharp shredded cheese
• 4 oz mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
• 1 tb garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp parsley
• salt/pepper to taste

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cook chicken breasts in a slow cooker 3 hours on high or 6 hours on low. I always add a little chicken broth and salt and pepper, but you can use water instead.
• Remove from the slow cooker and shred. My family prefers chicken breasts, but you can use thighs or a whole chicken too. Or, skip preparing the chicken and use a rotisserie chicken instead to save time. 
• Cook the fresh broccoli or microwave the steam bags of broccoli and drain.
• In a saucepan, add butter, heavy whipping cream, garlic, and 1/2 of the Italian seasoning. Then, add softened cream cheese and stir with a whisk until thoroughly combined and cook over low medium heat until the sauce is smooth. 
• Add cheeses stirring continually reserving 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese 1/8 cup of the other cheeses for the topping. 
• Grease a 9 X 13 casserole dish and layer the shredded chicken first. 
• Add the steamed broccoli on top of the chicken. 
• Remove saucepan with the cheese sauce from the stove and pour on top of the broccoli and shredded chicken making sure that it is completely covered. 
• Sprinkle the reserved cheese on top of the casserole along with parsley, paprika, and the remaining Italian seasoning. 
• Bake in a 375-degree oven for 30 minutes. 
• Enjoy!
