A comforting and flavorful slow-cooker recipe combining tender boneless chicken breasts with baby potatoes, infused with garlic, Italian seasoning, and topped with savory parmesan cheese. Perfect for an easy, hands-off dinner that delivers juicy chicken and perfectly cooked potatoes.

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)

Vegetables

  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids and Cheese

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half to ensure even cooking. Mince the garlic cloves finely and set aside.
  2. Season the Chicken: Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil to help seasonings adhere. Then sprinkle on the Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using, ensuring each breast is coated evenly for full flavor.
  3. Place Ingredients in Crockpot: Lay the halved potatoes at the bottom of the crockpot to create a bed. Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the potatoes.
  4. Add Chicken Broth: Pour the chicken broth evenly over the chicken and potatoes, which will keep them moist while cooking and infuse flavor.
  5. Add Garlic and Cheese: Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the chicken breasts, then cover them with the grated parmesan cheese, distributing it so the chicken is nicely topped.
  6. Cook the Mixture: Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6 to 7 hours. If pressed for time, set to high for 3 to 4 hours instead. Cook until chicken is tender and thoroughly cooked.
  7. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Verify the potatoes by piercing them with a fork; they should be soft and tender.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the chicken breasts and potatoes from the crockpot using tongs or a slotted spoon. Spoon any flavorful juices remaining in the crockpot over the top for extra moisture and taste.
  9. Garnish: For a fresh burst of color and flavor, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish just before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute baby potatoes with fingerling or Yukon gold potatoes if preferred.
  • If you prefer a creamier sauce, stirring in 1/4 cup heavy cream or sour cream at the end can add richness.
  • For spice lovers, increase the red pepper flakes or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat nicely in microwave or oven.
  • Freezing is not recommended as potatoes may become grainy after thawing.
