Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Potatoes
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
Seasoning 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
- Prepare Ingredients: Start by halving the baby potatoes and mincing the garlic cloves. This will ensure the flavors can infuse properly and the potatoes cook evenly.
- Season the Chicken: Rub the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if using. This adds a robust flavor base to the chicken.
- Combine Ingredients in Crockpot: Place the halved potatoes at the bottom of the crockpot. Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes and then arrange the seasoned chicken breasts on top.
- Add Sauce Components: Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes, then sprinkle the minced garlic and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top. The Parmesan will melt into a savory crust during cooking.
- Cook Low and Slow: Cover and cook the mixture on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the potatoes are tender.
- Finish and Serve: Once the cooking is complete, garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy a delicious, easy-to-make meal.
Notes
- For best results, use baby potatoes that are uniform in size to ensure even cooking.
- You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth for a slightly different flavor.
- Red pepper flakes are optional; omit to reduce spiciness for kids or sensitive eaters.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan instead of pre-grated for better texture and flavor.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
