Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 6 medium Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 spray (as needed) Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Spray the inside of your crock pot with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Peel the russet potatoes and slice them thinly (about 1/8-inch thick). Set aside.

Step 3

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic powder. Set aside.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour until smooth and cook for 1 minute.

Step 5

Gradually add in the chicken broth and milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and set aside.

Step 7

Layer half of the sliced potatoes on the bottom of the crock pot.

Step 8

Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the potato layer.

Step 9

Pour half of the cheese sauce over the chicken and potatoes, spreading evenly.

Step 10

Layer the remaining sliced potatoes on top, followed by the rest of the cheese sauce.

Step 11

Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top layer.

Step 12

Cover with the lid and cook on Low for 5 hours or until the potatoes are tender, chicken is cooked through, and the sauce is bubbling.

Step 13

Once finished, let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
