Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup heavy cream Can be substituted with half-and-half for a lighter version
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese Low-fat cheese can be used as a substitute
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For searing the chicken
  • for garnish Fresh parsley Optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by dicing the potatoes and mincing the garlic to ensure even cooking and flavor distribution.
Cooking
  1. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and season with salt and pepper. Stir until well blended.
  3. In your crockpot, layer the diced potatoes first, followed by the seared chicken. Pour the creamy Parmesan sauce over the top, ensuring everything is well coated.
  4. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, depending on your schedule.
  5. Once cooked, give everything a gentle stir and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

For best results, avoid overcooking the chicken; use a meat thermometer to check for doneness, targeting 165°F. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or frozen for up to two months.
