Ingredients

For the chicken

2 tbsp olive oil

3 chicken breasts

2 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp onion powder

2 tsp kinders cowboy butter seasoning

For the soup

4 tbsp butter

1 yellow onion, diced

2 tbsp minced garlic

¼ cup all purpose flour

3 - 4 crowns of broccoli, chopped

4 carrots, shredded

6 cups chicken broth

2 cups heavy cream

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp onion powder

Salt & pepper to taste

24 oz medium cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

Step 1

Evenly season your chicken breasts on both sides.

3 chicken breasts

2 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp onion powder

2 tsp kinders cowboy butter seasoning

Step 2

In a large pot on medium heat, add your olive oil and your chicken breasts. Cover for five minutes, flip chicken, cover for five more minutes and remove from pot.

2 tbsp olive oil

3 chicken breasts

Step 3

In the same pot, add your butter and diced onion. Sauté for two minutes. Add your garlic and sauté for 1 more minute.

4 tbsp butter

1 yellow onion, diced

2 tbsp minced garlic

Step 4

Mix in your flour, stir for about 2 minutes before adding 2 cups of chicken broth. Stir until smooth.

¼ cup all purpose flour

6 cups chicken broth

Step 5

Add your broccoli and carrots to the pot, cover for about 5 minutes.

3 - 4 crowns of broccoli, chopped

4 carrots, shredded

Step 6

Once your broccoli is starting to get soft, you can add your 4 remaining cups of chicken broth and heavy cream.

6 cups chicken broth

2 cups heavy cream

Step 7

Add your seasoning.

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp onion powder

Salt & pepper to taste

Step 8

Shred chicken breasts and return to pot.

Step 9

Now you can slowly start adding your cheddar cheese. I recommend shredding it yourself but pre-shredded also works. Keep your heat on medium-low. Don’t let it boil too fast or your cheese can clump up.

24 oz medium cheddar cheese, shredded

Step 10

Serve with garlic bread and enjoy!
