Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes is a cozy, flavorful one-pot meal perfect for busy days. Tender chicken breasts slow-cooked with baby potatoes, garlic, and a savory blend of parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and spices create a deliciously comforting dish with minimal effort.

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 & Broth

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

Flavorings & Toppings

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly and slicing 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 coat them with Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if you want a little heat.
  3. Place Ingredients in Crockpot: Arrange the halved baby potatoes at the bottom of the crockpot. Layer the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the potatoes for even cooking.
  4. Add Chicken Broth: Pour the chicken broth carefully over the potatoes and chicken to ensure everything stays moist and flavorful while cooking.
  5. Add Garlic and Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the minced garlic over the chicken breasts. Next, add the grated parmesan cheese on top, covering the chicken to create a delicious crust while cooking.
  6. Cook the Mixture: Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it on low heat to cook for 6 to 7 hours or on high heat for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and thoroughly cooked through.
  7. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Also, check that the potatoes are soft and easily pierced with a fork.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the chicken and potatoes from the crockpot and place on serving plates. Spoon any remaining juices and sauce over the top for extra moisture and flavor.
  9. Garnish: Optionally, chop fresh parsley and sprinkle over the finished dish to add a pop of color and fresh herbal flavor.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasoning and olive oil for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • If you prefer, use baby red, yellow, or mixed potatoes for variety.
  • Omit red pepper flakes for a milder dish suitable for kids or sensitive palates.
  • Make sure not to lift the crockpot lid during cooking, as this releases heat and can increase cooking time.
  • Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat nicely in the microwave or oven.
  • Use fresh garlic rather than pre-minced for best flavor.
