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

  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved

Additional Flavorings

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half. 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 red pepper flakes if you prefer a touch of heat.
  3. Place Ingredients in Crockpot: Layer the halved potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot. Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the potatoes to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Add Chicken Broth: Pour the chicken broth over the potatoes and chicken to keep the meal moist and flavorful during slow cooking.
  5. Add Garlic and Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the minced garlic over the chicken breasts, followed by the grated parmesan cheese, ensuring the cheese covers the chicken thoroughly for a savory crust.
  6. Cook the Mixture: Cover the crockpot and cook the mixture on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. This slow cooking method ensures the chicken becomes tender and the potatoes cooked through.
  7. Check for Doneness: After cooking, verify the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and that the potatoes are fork-tender.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Carefully transfer the chicken and potatoes from the crockpot to serving plates. Spoon any remaining sauce from the crockpot over the dish for enhanced flavor.
  9. Garnish: If desired, chop fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the dish to add color and a hint of freshness before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute baby potatoes with diced Yukon gold or red potatoes if preferred.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes based on your preferred spice level or omit entirely for no heat.
  • Using fresh garlic delivers the best flavor, but garlic powder can be substituted if needed.
  • Make sure not to lift the crockpot lid frequently during cooking to maintain consistent temperature.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
