Ingredients
  

For the Chicken and Potatoes
  • 1 lb Yukon Gold Potatoes Provides creamy texture when cooked; substitute with Russet or red potatoes for a different bite.
  • 1.75 lb Boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts or Thighs Acts as the main protein; thighs offer richer flavor and moisture.
For the Creamy Sauce
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Adds creaminess to the sauce; ensure it's at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • 4 tsp Minced Garlic Enhances aroma and flavor; fresh garlic is preferred for the best taste.
  • 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese Infuses salty, nutty flavor into the dish.
  • 12 oz Garlic Parmesan Sauce Preferred: Buffalo Wild Wings; other similar sauces may work well.
  • 0.5 cup Milk Helps create a creamy sauce base; can use whole or 2% milk, or a dairy-free alternative.
  • 0.5 cup Chicken Broth Adds depth of flavor; vegetable broth can be used for a lighter option.
For Seasoning and Topping
  • 0.5 tsp Cracked Black Pepper Adds a subtle spice that enhances the dish.
  • 2 cup Mozzarella Cheese Used for topping; ensures a smooth melt over the creamy sauce.
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley For garnish, it brings a fresh touch to the finished meal.

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cutting your Yukon Gold potatoes and chicken into 1-inch chunks, ensuring they’re similar in size for even cooking. Place the chicken in one bowl and the potato chunks in another.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, minced garlic, grated parmesan cheese, garlic parmesan sauce, milk, and chicken broth. Use a whisk to blend all the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Once your chicken and potatoes are ready, add them to the slow cooker in an even layer. Carefully pour the creamy sauce over the top and gently stir with a spatula to coat the pieces evenly.
  4. Sprinkle cracked black pepper over the mixture in the slow cooker. Gently stir again to combine.
  5. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on high for 2½ to 3½ hours, or on low for 4½ to 5½ hours. Check the tenderness of the potatoes in the last 30 minutes.
  6. Once the cooking time is up, uncover the slow cooker and stir in the mozzarella cheese. Allow it to melt into the creamy mixture for about 5 minutes before serving.
  7. Ladle the creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
