Ingredients

  • 1 lbred potatoes ((cut into ½" pieces))
  • 2 largecarrots ((peeled and thinly sliced))
  • 1rib celery ((chopped))
  • ½ mediumonion ((finely chopped))
  • 3 clovesgarlic ((minced))
  • 1 ½ teaspoonsalt
  • 1 teaspoondried parsley
  • 1 teaspoonitalian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoonblack pepper
  • 1 ½ cupslow sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoonscorn starch
  • ⅝ cupheavy cream
  • 3boneless skinless chicken breasts ((about 1.5 lb))
  • 1 cupfrozen peas ((optional))
  • ⅓ cupshredded parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. 1

    Place the potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, salt, parsley, Italian seasoning, and pepper in a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker and stir.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the broth and cornstarch and add to the slow cooker along with the cream.

  3. 3

    Add the chicken and press down slightly into the liquid.

  4. 4

    Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, or until the potatoes are tender. (This could take longer, depending on the temperature of your slow cooker. If you want to reduce the cooking time, cut the potatoes smaller.)

  5. 5

    Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and chop or shred. Stir back into the slow cooker with the peas and Parmesan, then taste and adjust seasonings as desired.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately. I recommend crusty bread for dipping—the best way!
