- Layer the halved potatoes at the bottom of the crockpot, creating a bed for the chicken. Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top.
- Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring all the ingredients are well-coated.
- Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the chicken, then pile on the grated parmesan.
- Cover the crockpot and set it to cook for either 6–7 hours on low or 3–4 hours on high.
- After the cooking time is up, check that your chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), and potatoes are tender enough to pierce with a fork.
- Carefully remove the chicken and potatoes from the crockpot, and spoon some of the sauce over the top before serving.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving for a fresh touch.
