# Ingredients:

→ The Hearty Foundation

01 - 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
02 - 1 and 1/2 lbs baby red potatoes, quartered

→ The Aromatic Infusion

03 - 1 tbsp olive oil
04 - 6 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
06 - 1/2 tsp onion powder
07 - 1/2 tsp black pepper
08 - 1 tsp kosher salt

→ The Creamy Parmesan Embrace

09 - 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
10 - 4 oz cream cheese, softened
11 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

→ The Fresh Finish

12 - 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - Quarter 1 and 1/2 lbs baby red potatoes. Pat dry 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs. This initial prep is key for even cooking in your Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes, ensuring everything is ready for the slow cooker.
02 - In a small bowl, combine 6 cloves garlic, minced, 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp kosher salt. This aromatic blend will infuse every bite of your Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes.
03 - Place the prepped 2 lbs chicken thighs and 1 and 1/2 lbs quartered baby red potatoes into a 6-quart or larger crockpot. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with the prepared seasoning mixture over all ingredients.
04 - Pour 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth over the ingredients in the crockpot. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours (360 minutes), or until the chicken is tender and the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
05 - Once cooked, remove the lid. Add 4 oz softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese to the crockpot. Stir gently until the cheeses are fully melted and create a rich, creamy sauce coating the chicken and potatoes.
06 - Let the Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish generously with 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped, for a vibrant finish. Enjoy this comforting and flavorful meal!

# Notes:

01 - For extra flavor, you can quickly sear the chicken thighs in a hot pan with a little olive oil before adding them to the crockpot. This adds a nice browned crust.
02 - Feel free to substitute boneless, skinless chicken breasts for the thighs, but be mindful that breasts may cook slightly faster and can dry out if overcooked.
03 - Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of broth.
04 - This dish is a complete meal on its own, but it pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad or some steamed green beans for added vegetables.
