Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
For the Potatoes:
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by washing the baby potatoes and halving them. Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
- Season the Chicken: Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) until evenly coated.
- Place Ingredients in Crockpot: Layer the halved potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot. Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top.
- Add Chicken Broth: Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring they are well coated.
- Add Garlic and Cheese: Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the chicken. Then, add the grated parmesan cheese on top, making sure it covers the chicken nicely.
- Cook the Mixture: 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.
- Check for Doneness: After the recommended cooking time, check if the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). The potatoes should be fork-tender.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove the chicken and potatoes gently from the crockpot. Spoon any remaining sauce over the top for extra flavor.
- Garnish: If desired, chop fresh parsley and sprinkle over the dish for added color and flavor before serving.
