Ingredients
  

Chicken & Potatoes
  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts 680g
  • 1 lb baby gold potatoes 450g, halved
  • 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth 120ml
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic 15g
  • 1 tbsp olive oil 15ml
Garlic Parmesan Sauce & Garnish
  • 4 oz cream cheese 115g, full-fat, cubed and softened
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream 120ml
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese 90g, divided
  • 2 tbsp freshly chopped green parsley flakes 8g
  • 1 tsp coarse black pepper 2g

Equipment

  • 1 6-quart Slow Cooker Essential for gentle, even cooking.
  • 1 Whisk Used to emulsify the cream sauce.

Method
 

Prep and Slow Cook
  1. Lightly coat the bottom of your slow cooker with 1 tbsp (15ml) of olive oil. Place the 1.5 lbs (680g) of boneless skinless chicken breasts and 1 lb (450g) of halved golden baby potatoes into the pot. Pour the 1/2 cup (120ml) of chicken broth over the top and sprinkle with 1 tbsp (15g) of minced garlic.
  2. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours (or HIGH for 2-3 hours). You will know it is ready when you press a fork into the chicken and it yields immediately into tender, pull-apart chunks. The golden baby potatoes should be completely soft and fork-tender.
Finish Sauce and Serve
  1. Using two forks, shred the chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks directly in the slow cooker. Add the 4 oz (115g) of cubed cream cheese, 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream, and 1/2 cup (45g) of the freshly grated parmesan cheese. Whisk the liquids vigorously around the chicken and potatoes until the cheese melts into a thick, rich, opaque white creamy garlic parmesan sauce.
  2. Let the mixture sit on the WARM setting for 5-10 minutes so the ingredients become heavily coated and glistening in the sauce. Ladle into a rustic ceramic bowl. Top heavily with the 2 tbsp (8g) of finely chopped fresh green parsley flakes, visible flecks of coarse black pepper, and a generous dusting of the remaining freshly grated parmesan cheese. Serve immediately while the cheese is slightly melting into the hot cream sauce.

Notes

Grate Your Own Cheese: Pre-packaged grated cheese contains anti-caking agents. Freshly grated parmesan cheese ensures your thick creamy white sauce doesn't become gritty.
Soften the Cream Cheese: Adding cold cream cheese to the slow cooker will cause clumping. Ensure your 4 oz (115g) block is at room temperature before whisking it into the hot broth.
