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

  1. Prepare the Crockpot: Lightly grease the crockpot insert with a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Layer the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the potatoes in the crockpot.
  5. Pour the Broth: Pour the chicken broth evenly over the chicken and potatoes to keep them moist while cooking.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
