Description
A creamy, cheesy, and comforting slow cooker dish featuring tender chicken, baby potatoes, and a rich garlic-Parmesan sauce. Easy to prepare and perfect for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 3/4 cup garlic-Parmesan sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Toss baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Place them at the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then place the chicken on top of the potatoes.
- In a small bowl, mix the garlic-Parmesan sauce with a splash of water to loosen the consistency, then pour over the chicken and potatoes.
- Cook on High for 4 hours or Low for 6–7 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
- In the final 20 minutes of cooking, sprinkle Parmesan and mozzarella over the top, cover, and let the cheeses melt.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Use chicken thighs for juicier results. For a homemade garlic-Parmesan sauce, mix melted butter, heavy cream, garlic, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning. Great with a side of green beans or steamed broccoli.
