Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Potatoes

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved

Seasonings and Sauce

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crockpot: Lightly grease the interior of your slow cooker with olive oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Combine the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chicken broth, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir well to mix the sauce.
  3. Layer the Potatoes: Place the halved baby potatoes at the bottom of the crockpot in an even layer, creating a base for the chicken to sit on.
  4. Add the Chicken Breasts: Place the chicken breasts on top of the potatoes. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken pieces for extra moisture and flavor.
  5. Pour the Sauce: Pour the prepared Parmesan and garlic sauce evenly over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
  6. Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
  7. Finish and Serve: Once cooked, garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot, spooning the flavorful sauce over the chicken and potatoes.

Notes

  • For best texture, use baby or new potatoes as they cook evenly and quickly in the slow cooker.
  • If you prefer, chicken thighs can be substituted for breasts for a juicier result.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes based on your preferred spice level or omit for a milder dish.
  • Make sure the chicken is fully cooked before serving; use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  • Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
