If you're new here, welcome!!
To bring everyone up to speed, I started a new series this summer. I'm teaching my kids to cook, and I'm taking you all along for the ride.
This is our fourth installment.
My kids have made Chicken Sandwiches, Cheesy Sausage and Pasta Dinner, and Chicken Drumsticks.
You can tell my kids like chicken! We have a lot more recipes in the works, so follow along on: YouTube, Instagram or Facebook
Chicken and Broccoli Slow Cooker Recipe - Teaching Kids to Cook
Today's chicken and broccoli recipe is a staple at our house. We have it at least monthly and it all gets gobbled up. Well, all except some of the broccoli, which my kids have not yet found a love for. In my opinion, the broccoli makes the dish. And they can keep trying it, maybe one day they'll see the light!

The chicken and sauce mixture begins in the slow cooker.
I use frozen chicken tenderloins, which makes it easy, since I don't have to remember to thaw them first.
Once the chicken is cooked, add in some cheese, sour cream and steamed broccoli. Serve over rice.
A tip about the broccoli:
I have tried cooking the broccoli with the chicken. It is easier to cook it all together. However, I feel that the broccoli gets overcooked. I prefer to cook it separately and add it in at the end.
