Ingredients
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 (Buffalo Wild Wings garlic parmesan sauce recommended)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Prepare the Slow Cooker: Add the quartered Yukon gold potatoes to the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker to create an even layer.
- Layer Chicken and Cheeses: Place the cubed chicken breasts evenly over the potatoes. Scatter the cream cheese pieces, minced garlic, and parmesan cheese over the chicken.
- Add Sauce and Milk: Pour the garlic parmesan sauce over the entire mixture. Then add 1 cup milk to the empty sauce bottle, shake well to combine, and pour it evenly over the contents in the slow cooker.
- Cook the Dish: Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 5 hours until the chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
- Add Mozzarella Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the cooked mixture. Cover and continue cooking for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, then serve the creamy garlic parmesan chicken and potatoes warm.
Notes
- Uniform Pieces: Cut potatoes and chicken into similar bite-size chunks to ensure even cooking and easy eating.
- Storing: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You may freeze leftovers for up to 3 months, though texture and sauce consistency might be affected.
- Cream Cheese: Use room temperature cream cheese cut into even chunks for quicker and more even melting.
- Thinner Sauce: If the sauce is thicker than desired after cooking, add a little milk or broth to thin it out before serving.
