Ingredients 🛒
- 3 to 4 chicken breasts, or boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 packet dry ranch seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
- Optional: cooked bacon bits
Instructions 👩🍳
1. Prepare the Crockpot 🥔🍗
Place the chicken and halved baby potatoes into the bottom of your slow cooker.
Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix, paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
2. Make the Garlic Butter Base 🧄🧈
In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Be careful not to let it brown.
3. Build the Cream Sauce 🥣
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet with the garlic butter.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese and whisk everything together until the sauce becomes smooth, creamy, and well combined.
4. Pour and Combine 🧀
Pour the warm garlic-Parmesan sauce evenly over the chicken and potatoes in the crockpot.
5. Slow Cook ⏲️
Cover with the lid and cook on:
- LOW for 5 to 6 hours
- HIGH for 3 hours
The dish is ready when the chicken is tender and the potatoes are soft enough to pierce easily with a fork.
6. Garnish and Serve ✨
Give everything a gentle stir so the chicken and potatoes get coated in that rich, creamy sauce.
Serve warm and garnish with:
- fresh chopped parsley 🌿
- crispy bacon bits 🥓 if desired
Serving Suggestions 🍽️
This dish is wonderful all on its own, but it also pairs nicely with:
- roasted vegetables
- a fresh green salad 🥗
- warm dinner rolls 🥖
Helpful Tips 💡
- Boneless skinless thighs work great if you want even juicier chicken.
- For extra cheesy flavor, add a little more Parmesan before serving.
- If you like a thicker sauce, let it sit uncovered for a few minutes before serving.
- Bacon bits on top add a delicious smoky finish.
