Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (16 ounce) jar Alfredo sauce
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
  • 2 cups broccoli florets

Instructions

  1. Place chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Pour Alfredo sauce, condensed cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth over the chicken.

  6. Return shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  7. Stir in uncooked orzo pasta and broccoli florets.
  8. Cover and cook on high for 30-45 minutes, or until orzo is tender and broccoli is bright green. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Notes

  • For a thinner sauce, add a little more chicken broth.
