Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 lb Yukon Gold Potatoes offering a creamy texture; if unavailable, any waxy potato works.
  • 1.75 lb Boneless, Skinless Chicken choose breasts or thighs; thighs are juicier and more flavorful.
For the Creamy Sauce
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese softened for that luxurious creaminess; resistant to substitutions for the best texture.
  • 4 tsp Minced Garlic provides a robust flavor; fresh garlic can amp up the taste even more.
  • 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese for a nutty bite; feel free to use store-bought or freshly grated.
  • 12 oz Garlic Parmesan Sauce for added depth; use Buffalo Wild Wings for convenience or try your homemade version.
  • 0.5 cup Milk to blend the sauce; whole or low-fat works perfectly.
  • 0.5 cup Chicken Broth for moisture; vegetable broth can be a tasty substitute.
  • 0.5 tsp Cracked Black Pepper enhances the dish's flavor; adjust according to your spice preference.
For the Cheesy Topping
  • 2 cups Mozzarella Cheese Kraft melts beautifully; other quality brands work too.
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley chopped for that fresh garnish at the end.

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing and peeling 1 pound of Yukon Gold potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch pieces for even cooking.
  2. Next, take 1.75 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken and chop it into similar-sized chunks.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 4 teaspoons of minced garlic, and ½ cup of grated parmesan cheese.
  4. Slowly stir in 12 ounces of garlic parmesan sauce and ½ cup of milk, ensuring the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  5. Finally, blend in ½ cup of chicken broth to create a rich sauce.
  6. Add the chopped chicken and potatoes to the slow cooker.
  7. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and potatoes, gently stirring to combine all the elements.
  8. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of cracked black pepper over the mixture in the slow cooker.
  9. Cover your slow cooker with its lid and set the temperature to high, cooking for 2½ to 3½ hours, or on low for 4½ to 5½ hours.
  10. Once cooking time is completed, carefully remove the lid and add 2 cups of mozzarella cheese on top.
  11. Stir gently, allowing the heat from the dish to melt the cheese, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
  12. Ladle portions of the Creamy Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes into bowls.
  13. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley as a garnish.
