Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by coating the chicken thighs in flour, ensuring that all sides are thoroughly covered. Set aside.

  3. Set your crockpot to low for 3 to 4 hours or high for about 2 hours, checking occasionally.
  4. About 30 minutes before serving, add the chopped fresh broccoli to the crockpot and gently stir.
  5. Once cooking time is up, stir in the freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese until melted and combined.
  6. Spoon the creamy chicken, rice, and broccoli mixture into bowls and serve.
