Ingredients
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
1.5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Wash and cube the potatoes into 1-inch pieces; mince the garlic and trim any excess fat from the chicken.
2. (Optional) Sear the chicken in a skillet with olive oil until lightly browned for extra flavor.
3. Place potatoes at the bottom of the crockpot, layer the chicken over them, and sprinkle in garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, melted butter, and grated parmesan, then pour over the ingredients in the crockpot.
5. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or on HIGH for 3.5–4 hours until the chicken is tender and potatoes are soft.
6. Gently stir to combine everything. If needed, cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes to thicken the sauce.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Use freshly grated parmesan for best melting and flavor—pre-shredded can create a grainy texture.
For a brighter taste, add a splash of lemon juice before serving.
You can make this ahead and store in the fridge for up to 4 days—it reheats wonderfully.
