Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound Yukon gold petite potatoes quartered
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces
- 8 ounces cream cheese cut into eight pieces
- 3 teaspoons garlic minced
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
- 12 ounces garlic parmesan sauce (such as Buffalo Wild Wings garlic parmesan sauce)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Quarter the Yukon gold potatoes and cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces for even cooking and easy eating.
- Layer in slow cooker: Add potatoes to the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker, then place the cubed chicken on top.
- Add cheeses and garlic: Distribute cream cheese chunks, minced garlic, and parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
- Add sauce and milk: Pour the garlic parmesan sauce over everything. Then, add milk to the empty sauce bottle, shake to combine, and pour it over the ingredients in the slow cooker.
- Cook: Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 5 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and potatoes are tender.
- Add mozzarella: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the cooked mixture, cover again, and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and enjoy your creamy garlic parmesan chicken and potatoes.
Notes
- Uniform pieces: Cut potatoes and chicken into similar-sized chunks to ensure even cooking.
- Storing: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator or freeze up to 3 months; note texture changes may occur after freezing.
- Cream cheese tips: Use room temperature cream cheese cut into even pieces to help it melt evenly.
- Thinner sauce: If the sauce is too thick after cooking, add a splash of milk or broth to reach desired consistency.
