Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups sliced carrots
• 1 cup chopped sweet onion
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 2 lbs. chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1 tsp garlic salt

1. In a slow cooker, stir together carrots, onion and broth. Add chicken and thyme, and sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper. Cover and cook on LOW until chicken is tender, 4-5 hours.

2. Stir in broccoli and increase heat to high. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Stir in cream cheese; cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cream cheese is melted and smooth and sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes.
