Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients
- Wash the baby potatoes and cut them in half. Mince the garlic finely so it infuses the sauce beautifully.
- Season the Chicken
- Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if you like a little heat. Make sure each piece is fully coated for maximum flavor.
- Layer in the Crockpot
- Place the halved potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot. Lay the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the potatoes.
- Add Liquids
- Pour the chicken stock evenly over the chicken and potatoes to keep everything moist while cooking.
- Add Garlic & Parmesan
- Sprinkle the minced garlic over the chicken, then top with grated Parmesan cheese so it melts into the sauce as it cooks.
- Cook Low & Slow
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and the potatoes are soft.
- Check Doneness
- Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and that the potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork.
- Serve
- Carefully remove the chicken and potatoes from the crockpot and plate them. Spoon the remaining garlic-parmesan sauce over the top for extra flavor.
- Garnish (Optional)
- Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
