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

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Begin by halving the baby potatoes and mincing the garlic cloves. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure better flavor absorption.
  2. Season Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken breasts with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Toss well to evenly coat each piece.
  3. Layer in Crockpot: Place the halved baby potatoes at the bottom of the slow cooker to form a base layer. Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the potatoes.
  4. Add Sauce Ingredients: Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes, then sprinkle the minced garlic and grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
  5. Slow 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.
  6. Finish and Serve: Once done, give the mixture a gentle stir to combine flavors. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.

Notes

  • For a creamier sauce, stir in 1/4 cup of heavy cream or half-and-half during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • If you prefer spicier dishes, increase the red pepper flakes to taste.
  • Baby potatoes can be substituted with red or Yukon gold potatoes cut into quarters.
  • Ensure the chicken breasts are not frozen when adding them to the crockpot for even cooking.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently to maintain moisture.
