Ingredients
- 1 lb red potatoes cut into ½-inch pieces
- 2 large carrots peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 rib celery chopped
- ½ medium onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions
- Place the potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, salt, parsley, Italian seasoning, and black pepper into a 4–6 quart slow cooker. Stir gently to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and cornstarch until smooth.
- Pour the broth mixture into the slow cooker, then add the heavy cream and stir lightly.
- Place the chicken breasts into the slow cooker and press them slightly into the liquid so they are mostly submerged.
- Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is fully cooked.
- Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and chop or shred it into bite-sized pieces.
- Return the chicken to the pot and stir in the frozen peas and shredded Parmesan cheese.
- Taste the stew and adjust seasoning if needed.
