Believe me, the magic here is all in the sauce

When you slow-cook anything with classic flavors like garlic and parmesan, something magical occurs. The thought of this traditional meal transports me to my childhood on the farm, when the air was heavy with the scent of roast chicken as we gathered around the table for Sunday supper. This meal is ideal for anybody wishing to infuse their kitchen with a touch of nostalgic warmth, since it brings to mind joyous family reunions spent together around a large oak table.

Whatever you serve it with, this garlic parmesan chicken will be the ideal complement. Traditional side dishes like mashed potatoes and green beans soak up all the delicious chicken juices. Consider a refreshing garden salad tossed with a mild vinaigrette for a healthier alternative. Be sure to have some warm, crusty bread on hand to soak up all that delectable sauce.

Before starting the slow cooker, add the chicken breasts.

2. In a mixing bowl, mix together the chicken broth, parmesan cheese, pepper, paprika, thyme, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Add the chicken and stir to combine.

3. Once the chicken is in the slow cooker, cover it and cook it on low for four to six hours, or until it’s cooked through and tender.

4. In a medium bowl, mix together the cornstarch, water, and heavy cream until smooth, about 30 minutes before serving.

Mix the cream mixture with the cooking fluids in the slow cooker by slowly pouring it in. Once the sauce starts to thicken, cover and continue cooking on high for another 20-30 minutes.

6. Spoon the garlic parmesan sauce generously over the chicken before serving. If you want, you may top it off with some chopped fresh parsley.

Tips and Variations

Substitute bone-in chicken thighs for boneless breasts for a fuller taste profile. Season the broth mixture with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if you like things on the spicy side. Add some baby potatoes and carrots at the beginning for a hearty, satisfying supper if you want to make it a one-pot dish.
