Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasonings

  • 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 and Broth

  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 cup chicken broth

Cheese and Aromatics

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 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 all over with olive oil, then evenly coat them with Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and if you like a bit of heat, sprinkle the red pepper flakes.
  3. Place Ingredients in Crockpot: Arrange the halved potatoes at the bottom of your crockpot in an even layer. Place the seasoned chicken breasts atop the potatoes carefully.
  4. Add Chicken Broth: Pour one cup of chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes to help keep everything moist and infuse flavor throughout the cooking process.
  5. Add Garlic and Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the minced garlic over the chicken breasts. Follow by generously topping the chicken with the grated Parmesan cheese.
  6. Cook the Mixture: Cover the crockpot and set it to low heat for 6 to 7 hours, or if you are short on time, cook on high for 3 to 4 hours until the chicken is tender and completely cooked through.
  7. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and check that the potatoes are fork-tender.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the chicken and potatoes from the crockpot using a spatula. Spoon some of the flavorful sauce left in the crockpot over the dish to enhance taste.
  9. Garnish: Optionally, chop fresh parsley and sprinkle it on top for a burst of color and fresh flavor just before serving.

Notes

  • For extra creaminess, add a splash of heavy cream or sour cream before serving.
  • If you prefer spicier, increase the red pepper flakes to taste.
  • You can substitute baby potatoes with small Yukon Gold or red potatoes for a different texture.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, reheat gently to maintain moisture.
  • Make sure not to overcook chicken to prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Using fresh garlic instead of pre-minced will enhance flavor.
