Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by washing the baby potatoes and halving them.
- Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
- Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) until evenly coated.
Cooking
- Layer the halved potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top.
- Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring they are well coated.
- Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the chicken.
- Then, add the grated parmesan cheese on top, making sure it covers the chicken nicely.
- Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
- After the cooking time, check if the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). The potatoes should be fork-tender.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken and potatoes gently from the crockpot. Spoon any remaining sauce over the top for extra flavor.
- If desired, chop fresh parsley and sprinkle over the dish for added color and flavor before serving.
Notes
For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in seasoning for a few hours before cooking. Feel free to add more vegetables, such as carrots or green beans, for added nutrition. Adjust the cooking time if using larger or smaller chicken pieces.
