Remember my all-star garlic cream sauce? Well, you know it was only a matter of time before I used it in a slow cooker recipe.

And I’m combining some favorites here. The super popular slow cooker garlic parmesan chicken and potatoes gets a bit of a makeover with more veggies and hello, the addition of the cream sauce.

So go ahead and sear your chicken thighs (for color and for caramelization), then let it cook low and slow with your potatoes before adding your broccoli in during the last 30 minutes or so.

From there, you’ll make your cream sauce right in the crockpot. No babysitting, no stirring. Just dump it in and you’re set – main and sides and everything.

Slow Cooker Creamy Garlic Chicken and Veggies: Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to use white wine?

Additional chicken stock can be used for white wine as a non-alcoholic substitute.

I don’t like thyme. Can I substitute something else?

Absolutely! You can substitute oregano or rosemary (dried or fresh!) or any other herb of your choosing. And because dried herbs are often more potent/concentrated than fresh herbs, you need less when using dry. The correct ratio is 1 tablespoon fresh herbs to 1 teaspoon dried herbs.

What is heavy cream?

Heavy cream (or heavy whipping cream) has one of the highest fat contents with about 36-40% fat. Half and half or whole milk are suitable substitutes, but will yield a lighter result.
