Ingredients
Scale
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved or quartered if large
1 packet (1 ounce) dry Italian seasoning mix
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Place chicken breasts or thighs in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Add the baby potatoes around the chicken.
In a small bowl, mix together the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
Pour the chicken broth into the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
Serve the chicken and potatoes hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
For a creamier sauce, you can thicken it with a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Chicken thighs will remain more moist than chicken breasts.
If baby potatoes are unavailable, you can use cubed Yukon Gold or red potatoes.
