Instructions

Heat 1 tsp of cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the sliced smoked sausage until lightly browned, about 3–4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, lightly season chicken breasts or thighs with salt and pepper, then sear each side for 2–3 minutes until golden. Transfer to the crockpot.
Add potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, melted butter, and browned sausage to the crockpot.
Pour in the chicken broth and add seasonings: Lawry’s Salt, Kinder’s Rub, garlic powder, black pepper, and Herbs de Provence. Stir to combine.
Cover and cook on Low for 6–7 hours or High for 3–4 hours, until the chicken and vegetables are tender.
In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water. Stir into the crockpot along with heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook an additional 20–30 minutes on High until the stew thickens and turns creamy.
Shred chicken slightly if desired, stir well, and garnish with dried parsley before serving.

Notes

Use chicken thighs for extra tenderness.
Adjust creaminess by adding more or less heavy cream.
Pairs beautifully with crusty bread or a light green salad.
