Ingredients

Scale

Meats

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 lb well-marbled ribeye steak

Garlic Butter

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 fresh garlic cloves, minced or finely chopped
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh rosemary

Parmesan Mash

2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Seasonings & Others

Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan, melt unsalted butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and fresh herbs (thyme and rosemary). Let the mixture gently infuse for about 5 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat and set aside.
Sear the Ribeye and Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the ribeye and chicken thighs generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sear each side until golden brown but not fully cooked, approximately 2-3 minutes per side, to lock in juices.
Transfer to Slow Cooker: Place the seared chicken and ribeye steak into the slow cooker. Pour the prepared garlic butter evenly over the meats. Add sprigs of fresh thyme and rosemary for extra aroma. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours until meats are tender and cooked through.
Prepare the Parmesan Mash: While the meats cook, boil the peeled and cubed russet potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes, then mash them with heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and a touch of butter until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Final Touches and Serving: Once the meats are ready, let them rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the succulent chicken and ribeye alongside generous portions of the creamy Parmesan mash. Drizzle any leftover garlic butter from the slow cooker on top for extra indulgence.

Notes

Use room temperature meat before cooking for even heat distribution.
Don’t skip searing to lock in juices and build flavor.
Infuse garlic butter gently over low heat to avoid burning the garlic.
Mash potatoes while hot to let butter, cream, and cheese melt perfectly, creating silky mash.
Allow meats to rest after cooking for juicy, tender results.
