Ingredients
broccolli florets: use fresh broccoli and cut into large florets.
lemon juice: use fresh if available or use lemon concentrate
onion: chop a brown or yellow onion
cream of mushroom soup: not everyone likes mushroom so you can substitute cream of broccoli
bell pepper: cut the red bell peppers in half then into thin strips
precooked chicken breast: a larger chicken breast is almost always enough to feed two people. If you want more chicken then use a larger slow cooker so not to overfill.
light whipping cream: this give the sauce a creamy velvety texture. To save on fat you can also use a low-fat milk or even water, however the sauce won;t be quit as rich
gruyere cheese: the cheese melts well and has a delicate flavor, Swiss cheese can be substituted. If you have Swiss cheese slices, just slice uber thin to get that shredded consistency.
