Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pound)
1.5 pound Yukon gold or red potatoes, quartered

Instructions

1. To get started, lightly grease the inside of your crockpot with cooking spray or a bit of butter. This will help prevent the chicken and potatoes from sticking to the sides as they cook.

2. Begin by placing the chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot. Top the chicken with the quartered potatoes and minced garlic, making sure to distribute the garlic evenly over the surface.

3. Next, pour the heavy cream (or coconut cream for a dairy-free version) over the chicken and potatoes. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper over the top, ensuring the entire dish is seasoned to perfection.

4. Cover the crockpot and cook the dish on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender. Be sure to check the doneness of the chicken towards the end of the cooking time to avoid overcooking.

5. Once the cooking time is up, gently stir the dish to coat the chicken and potatoes in the creamy Parmesan sauce. Serve the Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes warm, pairing it with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, simply swap the heavy cream for full-fat coconut cream. You can also experiment with different proteins, such as turkey or pork, or add in additional vegetables like carrots, green beans, or mushrooms. Don’t be afraid to get creative with your seasonings and herbs – a touch of lemon zest or a sprinkle of Italian seasoning can really elevate the flavor profile.
