Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Chicken 🧄🧀

Hello loves! ❤️

Today I’m sharing Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Chicken! This is a delicious, hearty meal with tender chicken thighs, potatoes, onions, garlic, and plenty of Parmesan cheese. It’s easy to prepare, cooks low and slow, and fills your kitchen with the most wonderful smell. I made a few changes to the original recipe, using six large chicken thighs and regular potatoes cut into chunks instead of baby potatoes. It turned out absolutely delicious!

Ingredients

* 6 large bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
* 1 tablespoon garlic butter for frying (you can use oil or regular butter)
* 1½ pounds regular potatoes, cut into chunks
* 1 medium onion, diced
* 4–6 tablespoons minced garlic
* 1 cup chicken broth
* ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
* 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, plus a little extra for the potatoes
* ½ teaspoon garlic powder
* ½ teaspoon salt
* ¼ teaspoon black pepper
* Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss the chicken thighs in the seasoning mixture until well coated.
2. Heat the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and fry for 3–4 minutes, until the skin is golden and crispy. You can use oil or regular butter instead of garlic butter if you prefer.
3. Place the chicken thighs in the bottom of your slow cooker.
4. Add the chunked potatoes and diced onion over and around the chicken. Sprinkle a little extra Italian seasoning over the potatoes and onion.
5. Add the minced garlic and pour in the chicken broth.
6. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender and the potatoes are soft.
7. Near the end of cooking, sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese and allow it to melt into the potatoes, onions, and juices.
8. Serve topped with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh chopped parsley.

And there you have it, loves! A comforting, flavourful supper that’s perfect for a busy day. The chicken is tender, the potatoes soak up all that garlicky goodness, and the Parmesan brings it all together. It’s nothing fancy, just good home cooking! ❤️

I was on CBC Radio this morning! 🥹❤️

I can’t share the link directly here because of the restrictions around sharing news links on Facebook, but if you search “Tiffany Taplin CBC Radio”, you should be able to find it!

I’m so incredibly thankful for these new experiences and opportunities to share my books and a little piece of my love for Newfoundland cooking with others. What started as a little dream with The Bay Kitchen has opened doors I never imagined, and I’m just so grateful for every bit of support along the way. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who continues to cheer me on. This little ol’ Newfoundland girl is pretty proud of how far this journey has come! 🥰📚

Today, I’m sharing a true Newfoundland favourite — Sweet Bread!

Some people call it raisin bread, others call it molasses bread, but I’ve always known it simply as sweet bread. Made with molasses, cinnamon, and raisins, it’s soft, sweet, and full of that old-fashioned homemade goodness that brings you right back home.

My husband absolutely loves this bread, and I often make a fresh batch for him to enjoy when he’s on his way home from work. There’s just something special about having a little homemade treat waiting for the ones you love.

This recipe comes straight from The Bay Kitchen, Volume One, and I’m so happy to share a little taste of Newfoundland with you all. Because around here, some of the best things in life are the simplest. ❤️

If you love steak au poivre, you’re going to want to try this Chicken Au Poivre! 🤎

This dish has been popping up all over TikTok, and I knew I had to give it my own little twist using chicken drumsticks. The chicken bakes right in that creamy, peppery sauce until it’s tender, juicy, and packed with flavour.

And let me tell you… served over a big scoop of creamy mashed potatoes? SO good. 😋

It’s cozy, comforting, and honestly much easier than it sounds!

🍗 CHICKEN AU POIVRE

Ingredients:

* Chicken drumsticks
* Salt & pepper, to season chicken
* 2 tbsp crushed peppercorns
* ½ medium onion, finely chopped
* 1 tsp salt
* 1 tsp rosemary
* 1 tsp garlic
* 1½ cups cream
* Cooking spray

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Spray a baking dish with cooking spray and arrange your chicken drumsticks inside. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel, then season generously with salt and pepper.

Bake uncovered at 375°F for about 15 minutes, just until the chicken starts to brown.

While the chicken is baking, mix together the crushed peppercorns, onion, salt, rosemary, garlic, and cream.

Pour the creamy peppercorn sauce all over the chicken.

Increase the oven temperature to 400°F and continue baking for approximately 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and beautifully coated in that creamy sauce.

While it bakes, baste the chicken with the sauce at least twice. This helps get all that delicious peppery cream sauce right over the chicken.

I served mine over mashed potatoes, which was absolutely perfect for soaking up all that sauce. 🤤

It’s nothing fancy, just good, cozy food. ❤️

Wow! 😮 ❤️❤️❤️

Hello loves! It’s part two of our homemade bread bowls, and today we’re filling them with creamy chicken Alfredo!

The bread bowls are made using my white bread recipe from The Bay Kitchen, Volume One. Once they’ve cooled, simply carve out the centre and get ready to fill them!

Chicken Alfredo

Ingredients:

* ¼ cup real butter
* ½ block cream cheese
* ½ teaspoon salt
* ½ teaspoon pepper
* ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
* 1 cup heavy cream or whipping cream
* 2 cups Parmesan cheese
* 2 cups cooked chicken
* Your favourite pasta
* Pasta water, if needed

Directions:
Melt the butter in a pan, then add the cream cheese, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Stir until combined.

Add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese and continue stirring until you have a smooth, creamy Alfredo sauce.

If your sauce is a little too thick, add a bit of pasta water until you reach the consistency you like.

Add your cooked chicken and your pasta of choice, then spoon that creamy chicken Alfredo into your homemade bread bowls.

Top with a little extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, and enjoy!

And there you have it — homemade bread bowls filled with creamy chicken Alfredo. Nothing fancy, just good.
