Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables & Protein
- 1 pound Yukon gold petite potatoes, quartered
- 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
Dairy & Cheese
- 8 ounces cream cheese, cut into eight pieces
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
- 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup milk
Sauces & Spices
- 3 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 12 ounces garlic parmesan sauce (e.g., Buffalo Wild Wings garlic parmesan sauce)
Instructions
- Prepare Slow Cooker: Add the quartered Yukon gold potatoes to the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker to create an even layer.
- Add Chicken: Place the bite-sized chicken breast pieces evenly over the potatoes in the slow cooker.
- Add Cheeses and Garlic: Distribute the cream cheese chunks, minced garlic, and parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
- Pour Sauce: Pour the entire bottle of garlic parmesan sauce over the ingredients. Add the cup of milk to the empty sauce bottle, shake well to combine, then pour the milk mixture over everything in the slow cooker.
- Cook: Cover and cook on HIGH for 2½ to 3½ hours or on LOW for 4½ to 5½ hours until the chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
- Add Mozzarella Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the cooked chicken and potatoes. Cover again and cook until the cheese melts completely, about 10-15 minutes.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and enjoy warm.
Notes
- Uniform Pieces: Cut potatoes and chicken into bite-sized chunks for even cooking and ease of eating.
- Storing: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months, though texture and dairy quality may slightly change.
- Cream Cheese: Use room temperature cream cheese and cut into evenly sized pieces to help it melt smoothly into the sauce.
- Thinner Sauce: If sauce is too thick after cooking, add additional milk or broth to thin it to your preference.
