  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved Small red or gold potatoes can also be used.
Sauce Ingredients
  • 1 cup chicken broth (low-sodium recommended)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream Use half-and-half for a lighter option.
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese Freshly grated Parmesan melts better.
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced Mince finely or grate for even distribution.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Can be swapped for herbes de Provence.
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Preparation
  1. Place the halved baby potatoes in an even layer across the bottom of the crockpot.
  2. Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Lay them on top of the potatoes.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, heavy cream, grated Parmesan, and minced garlic until smooth. Pour this mixture over the chicken and potatoes.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
  2. Check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the potatoes are tender.
  3. Remove the chicken and potatoes to a serving platter; tent with foil to keep warm.
  4. Stir the remaining sauce in the crockpot. If you prefer a thicker sauce, cook on high for an additional 10 to 15 minutes or whisk in a 1:1 slurry of cornstarch and cold water.
  5. Serve the chicken and potatoes topped with the sauce and a generous sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley.
