This Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes recipe is a delicious and easy meal that combines tender chicken breasts and flavorful baby potatoes cooked slowly in a savory garlic parmesan sauce. Perfect for a comforting dinner, this recipe uses simple ingredients and minimal prep for maximum taste and convenience.

  • Total Time: 6 hours 10 minutes (low) or 3 hours 40 minutes (high)
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Chicken and Seasonings

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Vegetables and Broth

  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 cup chicken broth

Cheese and Garlic

  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly and cutting them in half. Mince the garlic cloves finely and set aside for later use.
  2. Season the Chicken: Rub the chicken breasts evenly with olive oil. Then sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using, making sure each piece is well coated.
  3. Place Ingredients in Crockpot: Arrange the halved potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot in an even layer. Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the potatoes.
  4. Add Chicken Broth: Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring everything is covered and seasoned well.
  5. Add Garlic and Cheese: Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the chicken breasts. Then generously add the grated parmesan cheese on top, covering the chicken to infuse flavor during cooking.
  6. Cook the Mixture: Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. This slow cooking will ensure the chicken becomes tender and the potatoes are perfectly cooked.
  7. Check for Doneness: After cooking, verify the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) to ensure it is fully cooked. Also check that the potatoes are fork-tender.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the chicken and potatoes from the crockpot and place on a serving platter. Spoon any remaining sauce over the top to add extra richness and moisture.
  9. Garnish: For a fresh touch and appealing presentation, chop fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the finished dish before serving.

Notes

  • If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add crushed chili.
  • Baby potatoes can be substituted with regular potatoes cut into bite-size pieces if needed.
  • Make sure not to overfill the crockpot to allow even cooking and heat distribution.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently to preserve moisture.
  • Use freshly grated parmesan for the best flavor and melting quality.
