Ingredients
- Chicken thighs (bone-in or boneless)
- Baby potatoes (red or Yukon Gold, halved)
- Fresh minced garlic
- Parmesan cheese (grated or shredded)
- Chicken broth (low-sodium)
- Heavy cream
- Unsalted melted butter
- Italian seasoning
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the chicken thighs generously with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Set aside.
- Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Sprinkle them lightly with salt and pepper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, chicken broth, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese until smooth.
- Place the chicken thighs at the bottom of the crockpot. Add the potatoes on top, followed by the sauce, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be tender and the potatoes fork-soft.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes of cooking or stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water).
- Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
For a thicker sauce, stir in a cornstarch slurry during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Serve with a crusty baguette to soak up the sauce.
