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 (such as Buffalo Wild Wings garlic parmesan sauce)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
- Prepare the slow cooker: Add the quartered Yukon gold potatoes evenly to the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker for an even base layer.
- Add chicken on top: Place the bite-sized chicken breast pieces evenly over the potatoes in the slow cooker.
- Add cheeses and garlic: Distribute the chunks of cream cheese, minced garlic, and parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
- Mix sauce and milk: Pour the 1 cup of milk into the empty garlic parmesan sauce bottle, shake well to combine, then pour the mixture evenly over all the ingredients in the slow cooker.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 5 hours until chicken is fully cooked and potatoes are tender.
- Top with mozzarella: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the cooked chicken and potatoes, then cover and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm for a delicious hearty meal.
Notes
- Uniform Pieces: Cut the potatoes and chicken into bite-sized chunks to ensure even cooking and easy eating.
- Storing: Store leftovers for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freeze for up to 3 months, though texture may change slightly.
- Cream Cheese: Use room temperature cream cheese cut into even pieces to help it melt smoothly into the sauce.
- Thinner Sauce: If the sauce is too thick after cooking, add some milk or broth and stir gently to reach desired consistency.
