Description

This Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes is a comforting, flavorful one-pot meal perfect for busy weeknights. Tender chicken breasts and halved baby potatoes slow-cooked with garlic, parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning create a rich, savory dish that requires minimal effort but delivers maximum taste.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 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 and Broth

  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 cup chicken broth

Flavorings and Garnish

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly and cutting them in half. Mince the garlic cloves finely and set aside to use later.
  2. Season the Chicken: Rub the chicken breasts evenly with olive oil, then sprinkle the Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) over them, ensuring each piece is coated well to infuse flavor.
  3. Place Ingredients in Crockpot: Spread the halved baby potatoes evenly on the bottom of the crockpot to create a base layer. Lay the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the potatoes carefully.
  4. Add Chicken Broth: Pour the chicken broth evenly over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring everything is moistened to keep the dish juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  5. Add Garlic and Cheese: Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the chicken breasts. Then generously cover the chicken with grated parmesan cheese to add a creamy, cheesy crust while cooking.
  6. Cook the Mixture: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on the low setting for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked through and the potatoes are soft.
  7. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Make sure the potatoes are fork-tender to confirm they’re cooked perfectly.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken breasts and potatoes from the crockpot and plate them. Spoon any remaining cooking juices over the dish for added moisture and flavor.
  9. Garnish: If desired, finely chop some fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the dish for a bright, fresh finish and appealing color before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute baby potatoes with small Yukon Gold or red potatoes for similar results.
  • If you prefer a bit more spice, increase the red pepper flakes or add a dash of cayenne pepper.
  • To make the dish dairy-free, omit the parmesan cheese or use a vegan cheese alternative.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stove or microwave.
  • Ensure the crockpot lid is properly sealed to maintain moisture and temperature during cooking.
