This Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes recipe is a comforting, easy-to-make meal featuring tender chicken breasts cooked low and slow with baby potatoes, infused with savory garlic, parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning for a rich and flavorful dish perfect for a hassle-free dinner.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Chicken

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

Vegetables & Cheese

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

Liquids

  • 1 cup chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Wash and halve the baby potatoes and mince the garlic cloves carefully to release their flavor.
  2. Season Chicken: Rub the chicken breasts evenly with olive oil, then season thoroughly with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to enhance the taste and create a flavorful crust during cooking.
  3. Layer in Crockpot: Arrange the halved baby potatoes in an even layer at the bottom of the crockpot. Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the potatoes to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Add Broth and Toppings: Pour the chicken broth evenly over the chicken and potatoes, then sprinkle the minced garlic and grated parmesan cheese over the top to infuse the dish with savory aromas.
  5. Cook: 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 reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes are tender.
  6. Serve: Carefully remove the chicken and potatoes from the crockpot and serve warm. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley for added color and freshness.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, freshly grate the parmesan cheese before use.
  • You can add other vegetables like carrots or green beans for variety, but adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently to avoid drying out the chicken.
