Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by washing the baby potatoes and halving them. Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
- Season the chicken: Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) until evenly coated.
- Place the halved potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot and then layer the seasoned chicken breasts on top.
- Add the chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring they are well coated.
- Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the chicken and then add the grated parmesan cheese on top, making sure it covers the chicken nicely.
- Cook the mixture covered, setting it to cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
- Check once cooked that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), and the potatoes should be fork-tender.
- Remove the chicken and potatoes gently from the crockpot and spoon any remaining sauce over the top for extra flavor.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and seasonings for a few hours before cooking. If you prefer a crispy texture, broil the chicken for a few minutes after cooking.
