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
- Prepare Ingredients: Wash and halve the baby potatoes and mince the garlic cloves carefully to release their flavor.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
