Chicken and Potatoes
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
Garlic Parmesan Sauce
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Prepare the Slow Cooker: Place the chicken breasts and halved baby potatoes evenly in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Make the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine grated parmesan cheese, heavy cream, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
- Add the Sauce and Broth: Pour the prepared garlic parmesan sauce evenly over the chicken and potatoes. Then, add the chicken broth on top.
- Cook the Meal: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low heat for 6 hours, or on high heat for 3 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and the potatoes are tender.
- Serve: Carefully remove the chicken and potatoes from the slow cooker and serve warm. Optionally garnish with extra grated parmesan cheese for added flavor.
Notes
- For a thicker sauce, you can stir in a small amount of cornstarch slurry near the end of the cooking time.
- If you prefer a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a dairy-free alternative.
- Feel free to add fresh parsley or basil on top for a fresh herb garnish.
- Baby potatoes can be substituted with small red or Yukon gold potatoes.
- Make sure chicken breasts are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
