Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Wash the baby potatoes and halve them. Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.
Step 2: Rub the chicken breasts evenly with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
Step 3: Layer the halved potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot and place the seasoned chicken breasts on top.
Step 4: Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes to add moisture and flavor.
Step 5: Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the chicken, then top with the grated parmesan cheese.
Step 6: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
Step 7: Carefully remove the chicken and potatoes from the crockpot. Spoon any remaining sauce over the top for extra flavor.
Step 8: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

Use red pepper flakes sparingly for a mild kick or omit for a milder dish.
Baby potatoes can be substituted with quartered Yukon gold or red potatoes.
For extra creaminess, stir in a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of sour cream before serving.
Adding sliced mushrooms or green beans during the last hour of cooking can boost vegetable content.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop to preserve the chicken’s tenderness. For best texture, avoid overcooking during reheating.

FAQs

Can I use frozen chicken breasts for this recipe?

While it’s possible, using fresh chicken breasts is recommended for even cooking. If using frozen, extend the slow cooker time by about an hour and check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
