A creamy, garlicky slow cooker dinner with tender chicken, baby potatoes, and a rich parmesan sauce — comforting and effortless.
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts
1½–2 lbs baby potatoes, halved
4–6 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons butter

3/4 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Optional Garnish:
Chopped parsley
Extra parmesan
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Layer potatoes and garlic in a greased slow cooker.
Add chicken on top. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Dot with butter.
Whisk broth, cream, and parmesan. Pour over ingredients.
