If you make this in the crockpot, don’t do step 1. You will still complete steps 2 – 11. Then, Place 1–2 foil packets in the bottom of the slow cooker, then layer the rest on top (no more than 2 layers deep). Do not add water. The steam inside the packets will cook everything. Cook On Low: 5–6 hours or on High: 2½–3 hours (Check one packet to make sure the chicken is cooked through and broccoli is tender.). An optional finishing touch is to open the packets the last 10–15 minutes of cooking to let moisture escape a bit (just fold the top of the foil open and close the lid again), or quickly broil them for 2–3 minutes after cooking if you like the cheese slightly browned.

In the recipe card near the bottom of the post (you can click on the “jump to recipe” button at the top to get there faster), in the ingredients, it says, “1 pound Boneless skinless chicken breast cut into bite sized pieces”

How neat to find a recipe that brings back such fun memories. Thanks for commenting and letting me know. Enjoy sharing those moments with your kids and grandkids.

Yes, you can do that. I hope you enjoy them!

That’s the great thing about recipes, you can modify them however you like! I’m so glad you liked it. Thanks for sharing how you changed it, maybe another reader will want to try it that way also.

Yes, you can cook these on the grill. Most recipes I’ve seen recommend using two sheets of aluminum foil for durability when you cook it on the grill. Cook for about 25 minutes or until chicken temperature is 165 degrees.

Hey, sorry that wasn’t already there. It should be there now!

You can put the ingredients in a casserole dish in the oven and cook at 375 degrees for 15 minutes.
