Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 4 chicken breasts
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Vegetables
- 2 cups potatoes, diced
Garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Place the chicken breasts into the crockpot, making sure they are laid flat and evenly spaced.
- Add seasonings: Sprinkle minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper over the chicken. Mix gently to coat the chicken well with the seasonings.
- Pour the creamy sauce: Pour the heavy cream over the chicken, making sure they are covered thoroughly. Then sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly on top.
- Add the potatoes: Nestle the diced potatoes around the chicken breasts in the crockpot, immersing them into the creamy sauce to absorb flavors.
- Cook the dish: Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for about 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked through and tender.
- Garnish and serve: Once cooking is complete, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a burst of color and fresh flavor.
Notes
- For best texture, use fresh garlic rather than pre-minced.
- If potatoes are cut smaller, reduce cooking time slightly to avoid overcooking.
- To make this dish lower in fat, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
- Additional vegetables like mushrooms or green beans can be added for variation.
- Make sure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
