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 the ingredients: Begin by halving the baby potatoes and mincing the garlic cloves. This ensures that they cook evenly and release their flavors throughout the dish.
  2. Season the chicken: Rub the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if using. This step infuses the protein with delicious flavor right from the start.
  3. Layer ingredients in crockpot: Place the halved baby potatoes at the bottom of the crockpot. Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes and stir to coat evenly. Lay the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the potatoes for even cooking.
  4. Add broth and garlic: Pour the chicken broth over the contents in the crockpot and sprinkle the minced garlic evenly. The broth helps keep everything moist during slow cooking while the garlic adds a robust aroma and taste.
  5. Cook the dish: Cover 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. Add parmesan cheese: About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the chicken and potatoes. Cover again and let the cheese melt and blend with the flavors.
  7. Garnish and serve: Once done, garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm for a comforting and flavorful meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute baby potatoes with Yukon gold or red potatoes cut into chunks.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes to your heat preference or omit for a milder dish.
  • For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth or low-sodium broth to control salt content.
  • Make sure to evenly halve the potatoes for uniform cooking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
