Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts Can use frozen chicken, just increase cooking time.
  • 2 cups baby potatoes Washed and halved.
  • 4 cloves garlic Minced.
  • 1 cup chicken broth To ensure the chicken and potatoes are well coated.
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese Add more if desired.
Seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil For seasoning the chicken.
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning For enhanced flavor.
  • 1 tsp salt To taste.
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper To taste.
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes Optional, for a bit of heat.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash the baby potatoes and halve them. Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
  2. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Layer the halved potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot. Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top.
  2. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring they are well coated.
  3. Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the chicken. Then, add the grated parmesan cheese on top.
  4. 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.
  5. After the recommended cooking time, check if the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). The potatoes should be fork-tender.
  6. Once cooked, remove the chicken and potatoes gently from the crockpot. Spoon any remaining sauce over the top for extra flavor.
  7. If desired, chop fresh parsley and sprinkle over the dish for added color and flavor before serving.

Notes

To store leftovers, cool completely and place in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze it for longer storage. Just thaw in the fridge before reheating. Don’t skip the seasoning for best flavor and use fresh ingredients where possible.
