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 to ensure even cooking. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to help the seasoning stick better.
  2. Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix the Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Rub this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts on all sides.
  3. Sear the Chicken (Optional): Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly golden. This step adds flavor but can be skipped for convenience.
  4. Arrange in Crockpot: Place the halved potatoes at the bottom of the crockpot, drizzle with half of the minced garlic, then layer the seasoned chicken breasts on top.
  5. Add Broth and Cheese: Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly on top, followed by the remaining garlic.
  6. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and the potatoes are tender.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley if desired for a fresh, vibrant finish. Serve hot and enjoy your hearty Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes!

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, increase the red pepper flakes to 1 teaspoon.
  • Searing the chicken before slow cooking adds extra flavor but is optional.
  • You can substitute baby potatoes with fingerling potatoes or chunks of Yukon gold potatoes.
  • Adjust salt according to your dietary needs.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
