Description

This Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes recipe is a flavorful and easy-to-make meal perfect for busy days. Tender chicken breasts are seasoned and slow-cooked with baby potatoes, garlic, and Parmesan cheese for a comforting and cheesy dish. The slow cooker method allows the flavors to meld beautifully, resulting in juicy chicken and perfectly cooked potatoes. A hint of Italian seasoning and optional red pepper flakes add a nice depth of flavor, while fresh parsley provides a bright finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Vegetables & Cheese

  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Liquids & Garnish

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Wash and halve the baby potatoes to ensure even cooking. Mince the garlic cloves finely and set aside for later use.
  2. Season Chicken: Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then evenly coat them with Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. This infuses the chicken with bold flavors.
  3. Layer in Crockpot: Arrange the halved potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot to create a base. Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the potatoes for layered cooking.
  4. Add Liquids: Pour the chicken broth evenly over the chicken and potatoes. This moisture helps cook the ingredients gently while enhancing flavor.
  5. Add Garlic and Cheese: Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the chicken followed by the grated Parmesan cheese to create a savory topping that melts and infuses the dish.
  6. Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours. This slow cooking method ensures the chicken becomes tender and the potatoes are perfectly cooked.
  7. Serve: Carefully remove the chicken and potatoes from the crockpot. Spoon any remaining sauce over the top for extra moisture and flavor.
  8. Garnish and Enjoy: Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness before serving your delicious meal.

Notes

  • Using baby potatoes halves cooks evenly and absorbs the flavorful juices better.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes based on your spice preference or omit if you want no heat.
  • Chicken breasts can dry out if overcooked, so stick to recommended cooking times.
  • Fresh parsley adds brightness but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • For creamier texture, add a splash of heavy cream or sour cream near the end of cooking.
