- 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into large pieces
- 1 pound baby red potatoes washed and cut into quarters
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for searing the chicken in the skillet
- 4 cloves fresh garlic minced or very finely pressed
- ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese for a rich salty flavor
- ½ cup heavy cream to create a velvety and smooth sauce
- ¼ cup chicken broth to help keep the potatoes moist
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning for a classic herbal scent
- ½ teaspoon paprika for a touch of color and warmth
- Salt and black pepper to taste for seasoning the meat
- Fresh parsley chopped for a bright and beautiful green garnish
Mix the Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, parmesan cheese, heavy cream, chicken broth, and herbs. Stir until the mixture is smooth and the cheese is well-distributed throughout the creamy liquid.
Garnish and Serve
Transfer the chicken and potatoes to a large platter and sprinkle with fresh, chopped parsley. Serve immediately while it is hot, creamy, and smelling like a dream in your kitchen.
- Use chicken thighs instead of breasts if you prefer even juicier and darker meat.
- Add a cup of fresh baby spinach at the end for a pop of color.
- Swap the red potatoes for sweet potatoes for a healthy and slightly sweeter twist.
- If you love spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the creamy sauce.
- Always grate your own parmesan cheese from a block for the best melting results.
- Do not overcook the chicken or it may become dry even in the slow cooker.
