Scale
Chicken and Potatoes
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
Garlic Parmesan Mixture
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (1 tablespoon for greasing, 2 tablespoons for mixture)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crockpot: Lightly grease the crockpot with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking and to add flavor.
- Arrange Ingredients: Place the halved baby potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot and evenly space the chicken breasts on top.
- Mix Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful sauce.
- Coat Chicken and Potatoes: Pour the Parmesan garlic mixture evenly over the chicken and potatoes, making sure all pieces are well coated to maximize flavor.
- Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish to add a fresh, vibrant touch. Enjoy your hearty and delicious meal!
Notes
- For a quicker cook, you can cook on high for 2 to 2.5 hours but monitor to avoid drying out the chicken.
- Baby potatoes can be substituted with fingerlings or diced larger potatoes if desired.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor and texture.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently to maintain moisture.
