1-First Step: Gather and prepare all ingredients by washing broccoli and chopping it into florets, dicing or shredding the chicken breasts, and finely chopping onion and garlic for ease later.

2-Second Step: Spray the crockpot with non-stick cooking spray or lightly oil to prevent sticking, then add the cooked rice as the base layer.

3-Third Step: Layer the diced chicken evenly over the rice, followed by the broccoli florets on top to ensure even cooking.

4-Fourth Step: Sprinkle the minced garlic and chopped onions over the ingredients for that aromatic flavor release.

5-Fifth Step: Pour in the chicken broth evenly to moisten everything, helping flavors blend perfectly.

6-Sixth Step: Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, depending on your schedule.

7-Seventh Step: Thirty minutes before serving, stir in shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream gently to combine creaminess throughout.

8-Final Step: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, then serve warm. For adaptations, replace chicken with tofu or chickpeas.
