Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Potatoes
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
Sauce & Toppings
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes and Garlic: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half. Mince the garlic cloves finely and set them aside for later use.
- Season Chicken: Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then evenly coat them with Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes to add a slight kick.
- Layer Ingredients in Crockpot: Place the halved baby potatoes at the bottom of the crockpot to create a base layer. Then, position the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the potatoes.
- Add Broth: Pour the chicken broth evenly over the chicken and potato layers to keep everything moist during cooking.
- Add Garlic and Parmesan: Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the chicken, followed by an even layer of grated parmesan cheese to infuse rich flavor.
- Cook: Cover the crockpot with the lid. Cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and potatoes are tender.
- Serve: Carefully remove the chicken and potatoes from the crockpot. Spoon any remaining sauce over the dish for extra flavor.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot for a comforting meal.
Notes
- If you prefer spicier chicken, increase red pepper flakes to 1 teaspoon.
- Baby potatoes can be substituted with fingerlings or small Yukon Gold potatoes.
- For a creamier dish, add a splash of heavy cream or substitute part of the chicken broth with it.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
- Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
