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)

Potatoes

  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved

Sauce & Seasoning

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly and halving them. Mince the garlic cloves finely and set aside for later use.
  2. Season the Chicken: Rub the chicken breasts evenly with olive oil, then coat them with Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes to infuse flavor.
  3. Place Ingredients in Crockpot: Arrange the halved potatoes at the bottom of the crockpot, creating a base, then place the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the potatoes.
  4. Add Chicken Broth: Pour the chicken broth over the layered chicken and potatoes to keep them moist and flavorful during cooking.
  5. Add Garlic and Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the minced garlic over the chicken, then cover the chicken with the grated parmesan cheese for a rich and savory finish.
  6. Cook the Mixture: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours or on high heat for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  7. Check for Doneness: Verify that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and that the potatoes are fork-tender and soft.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Gently remove the chicken and potatoes from the crockpot and plate them. Spoon any remaining sauce over the top for an extra burst of flavor.
  9. Garnish: Optionally, chop fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the dish just before serving to add a fresh herbal aroma and a pop of color.
