Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 cup chicken broth Can substitute with vegetable broth or water
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese For extra flavor, consider mixing in some cheddar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes Optional for a spicy kick
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • to taste pieces fresh parsley for garnish Optional, for added color and flavor

Method

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 recommended 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.

Garnishing and Serving

  • If desired, chop fresh parsley and sprinkle over the dish for added color and flavor before serving.
