Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes halved
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

  1. Place the halved baby potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker. Lay the chicken breasts on top of the potatoes.

  3. Distribute the sliced butter evenly over the top of the chicken and potatoes.

  5. Once cooked, use a fork to gently shred the chicken if desired. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For a creamier texture, you can add more heavy cream or use full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free option.
• Avoid overcooking the chicken to prevent it from becoming dry.
• Serve with a side of steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
Food Safety:
• Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
• Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours of cooking.
