Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Potatoes
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
Seasoning and Sauce
- 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
- Prepare the Crockpot: Lightly grease the crockpot insert with a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Season the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the garlic, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts to coat them evenly.
- Add the Potatoes: Place the halved baby potatoes at the bottom of the crockpot. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat them well, then season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Layer the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the potatoes in the crockpot.
- Pour the Broth: Pour the chicken broth evenly over the chicken and potatoes to keep them moist while cooking.
- Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the dish before serving for a fresh, vibrant touch.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, increase the red pepper flakes to 1 teaspoon.
- You can use regular potatoes cut into chunks if baby potatoes are not available.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the chicken and potatoes after cooking and simmer the remaining liquid on the stovetop until reduced.
- Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
