- Measuring cups
- Measuring spoons
- saucepan
- Whisk

Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Peel and cube the Yukon Gold potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Chop the onion into a medium dice. Mince the garlic.
- In the bottom of your crockpot, add the cubed potatoes and chopped onion. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Drizzle with olive oil.
- Place the chicken thighs on top of the potatoes. Sprinkle the minced garlic over the chicken. Pour the chicken broth over everything.
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
- If desired, shred the chicken with two forks.
- About 30 minutes before serving, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant (be careful not to burn it!).
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and garlic powder. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thickened and smooth.
- Pour the Garlic Parmesan sauce over the chicken and potatoes in the crockpot. Stir gently to coat everything evenly. Cover and cook for another 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, microwave until heated through or warm in a saucepan over medium heat. Add a splash of milk or chicken broth if the sauce has thickened too much. For variations, add broccoli florets, green beans, sliced bell peppers, red pepper flakes, cream cheese, bacon, or other cheeses.
