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 Ingredients: Rinse and halve the baby potatoes. Mince the garlic cloves. Measure out all seasonings including parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning.
  2. Season the Chicken: Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and minced garlic. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
  3. Layer the Crockpot: Place the halved baby potatoes at the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour the chicken broth over the potatoes to keep them moist while cooking.
  4. Add the Chicken: Lay the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the potatoes in a single layer. Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken breasts and potatoes.
  5. Cook: Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
  6. Finish and Serve: Once cooked, optionally sprinkle with red pepper flakes for some heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm for a comforting meal.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, omit the parmesan cheese or substitute with a vegan cheese alternative.
  • If you prefer crispier potatoes, you can roast the potatoes separately or sauté them before adding to the crockpot.
  • Adjust the red pepper flakes according to your heat preference or omit if you want a milder dish.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Use bone-in chicken pieces for a richer flavor but increase cooking time by about an hour on low.
