Slow Cooker Seasoned Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli

I will take this opportunity to say, that my family and I are now less than six months away from moving back to Stateside! And by less than six months away, I mean only one week off of six months, ha ha. But I am eager and looking forward to being there. We don't know where we'll be going yet, but I can't wait to find out. Hopefully we get where we're wanting. I am not, however, looking forward to the process of leaving. Getting our things packed, making the house cleaner than it has been the entire time we've lived here, staying in a hotel for a night or two, super-cleaning our car and shipping it...and then the super long plane ride and lugging two kids and a bag of luggage and carry-on per person through the airports...Yikes. Until then, though, I'll just keep gettin' cookin'. ;)

Melt butter over stove and add seasonings. Transfer to a med. bowl and combine with can of cream of chicken.

Put chicken in slow cooker and pour mixture over top. Cook on low for about 5 1/2 hours.

Take chicken out and shred with two forks.

Return chicken to slow cooker.

 Add condensed Cheddar cheese, shredded Cheddar, cream cheese, and broccoli to slow cooker. Mix well to combine and let it cook for about another 30 min. I used cream cheese out of a small tub and it worked well. If you use it cut from the block, you may want to soften it in the microwave or on the countertop a little before adding it, so that it mixes well.

Cook some egg noodles and serve it over them!
