Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken fillets
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 lb potatoes peeled and quartered
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions
 

  • In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, parsley, chives, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Brush chicken fillets with olive oil, then coat them in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  • Place the coated chicken fillets in the slow cooker.
  • Pour chicken broth around the chicken fillets, being careful not to wash off the coating.
  • Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  • About 30 minutes before the chicken is done, prepare the mashed potatoes. Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 15–20 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper, and mash until smooth and creamy.
  • Once the chicken is done, remove it from the slow cooker and set aside. Stir heavy cream into the remaining liquid in the slow cooker to make a gravy.
  • To serve, place a generous scoop of mashed potatoes on each plate, top with a chicken fillet, and drizzle with the gravy. Garnish with additional chopped herbs if desired.

Notes

For added richness, stir a little grated Parmesan into the mashed potatoes or swap in cream cheese for some of the milk. Leftover gravy makes a wonderful drizzle for vegetables the next day!
