Slow Cooker Chicken & Potatoes
A creamy, comforting slow cooker meal featuring tender chicken, buttery potatoes, and a rich garlic Parmesan sauce. Served over rice with broccoli, this easy, family-friendly dish is perfect for busy weeknights and makes great leftovers!
Equipment
- 1 Slow Cooker (crock pot)
Ingredients
- 1 pound red baby potatoes halved if large
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tablespoons butter cut into small pieces
- 12 ounce bag frozen broccoli
- 2 cups rice cooked
Instructions
- Place the potatoes in the bottom of the Crock Pot. Season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.
- Lay the chicken breasts on top of the potatoes. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and remaining Italian seasoning. Pour the mixture over the chicken and potatoes.
- Dot the butter pieces on top for extra richness.
- Cook on low setting for 6 hours, or on a high setting for 3 to 4 hours. You’ll know it’s ready when the chicken is tender and cooked through, and the potatoes can be pierced easily with a fork.
- In the last 10 minutes, cook the broccoli in the microwave according to package directions. Once ready, add to the crock pot mixture.
- Lay a bed of rice in a bowl, and spoon the chicken, potatoes, broccoli and sauce on top. Garnish with extra Parmesan if desired. Enjoy!
