Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 can cheddar cheese soup
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear them in the skillet until golden brown on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side).
2. In a slow cooker, combine the cream of mushroom soup, cheddar cheese soup, garlic powder, onion powder, and chicken broth. Mix until well combined.
3. Add the seared chicken breasts to the slow cooker, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce.
4. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
5. About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken. Cover and allow the cheese to melt.
6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy with rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the creamy sauce.
