Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 ½ lb baby Yukon gold potatoes (left whole)
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup light cream or half-and-half
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish
  • Optional: ½ lb fresh green beans, steamed or sautéed for serving

Equipment

  • crockpot or slow cooker
  • mixing bowl
  • whisk

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Layer the potatoes: Add the whole baby Yukons to the bottom of your crockpot
  2. Season and add the chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning, then place them directly on top of the potatoes
  3. Mix the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, chicken broth, cream, and Parmesan until smooth and creamy
  4. Combine: Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken and potatoes
  5. Cook: Cover and cook on Low for 4–5 hours, or until the chicken is tender and the potatoes are fork-soft
  6. Serve: Gently stir to coat everything in the sauce, sprinkle with parsley, and serve with steamed green beans for a complete meal

Notes

Resist the urge to lift the lid during cooking as it releases heat and extends cooking time. For thicker sauce, mix 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp cold water and stir in during last 30 minutes. Freshly grated Parmesan melts better than pre-shredded varieties.
