  • Total Time: 4 hours 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken and potatoes dry. Toss both with olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  2. Arrange chicken and potatoes in the crockpot, layering potatoes around and under the chicken pieces.
  3. Cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or on HIGH for 2.5–3 hours, until chicken reaches 165°F and potatoes are tender.
  4. Remove chicken and potatoes. Preheat broiler to HIGH.
  5. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan; simmer 2–3 minutes until thickened.
  6. Pour sauce over chicken and potatoes in the crockpot. Broil 3–4 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  7. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra browning, broil 1–2 minutes longer—watch closely.
  • Use bone-in thighs for richer flavor, adjusting cook time by +1 hour (LOW) or +30 min (HIGH).
  • Substitute half-and-half for lighter sauce—but reduce simmer time slightly.
