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)

Vegetables

  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved

Other Ingredients

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

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. Sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) over the chicken, massaging the spices to coat the meat completely.
  3. Place Ingredients in Crockpot: Arrange the halved baby potatoes in an even layer at the bottom of the crockpot. Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the potatoes.
  4. Add Chicken Broth: Pour chicken broth gently over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring everything is well coated to keep the dish moist while cooking.
  5. Add Garlic and Cheese: Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the chicken breasts. Follow by covering the chicken with the grated parmesan cheese, distributing it to cover the pieces nicely.
  6. Cook the Mixture: Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. The chicken should become tender and fully cooked through.
  7. Check for Doneness: After cooking, verify the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) using a meat thermometer. Check that the potatoes are fork-tender as well.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the chicken and potatoes from the crockpot onto serving plates. Spoon any juices remaining in the crockpot over the dish for extra flavor.
  9. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top before serving to add a pop of color and fresh herb flavor.

Notes

  • For best results, use baby potatoes of similar size to ensure even cooking.
  • If you prefer a less spicy dish, omit the red pepper flakes.
  • You can substitute chicken breasts with boneless, skinless thighs for a juicier option.
  • Make sure the chicken is fully submerged in broth to avoid drying out during slow cooking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stove with a little added broth to retain moisture.
