Description
A hearty slow-cooked dish featuring tender chicken and flavorful baby potatoes, seasoned with garlic and parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 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
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Wash the baby potatoes and halve them. Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
- Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) until evenly coated.
- Layer the halved potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot. Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top.
- Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring they are well coated.
- Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the chicken. Add the grated parmesan cheese on top, covering the chicken nicely.
- Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
- Check if the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Remove the chicken and potatoes gently from the crockpot and serve, spooning any remaining sauce over the top.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
Notes
For a creamier sauce, stir in heavy cream or cream cheese during the last hour of cooking. You can also add other vegetables like carrots or green beans for extra nutrition.
