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 for garnish (optional)
- Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly and halving them. Mince the garlic cloves finely and set them aside for later use.
- Season the Chicken: Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then coat evenly with Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if you want a bit of heat.
- Place Ingredients in Crockpot: Layer the halved potatoes on the bottom of the crockpot to create a base. Lay the seasoned chicken breasts over the potatoes.
- Add Chicken Broth: Pour the chicken broth gently over the chicken and potatoes to ensure everything is properly moistened and will cook evenly.
- Add Garlic and Cheese: Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the chicken breasts to infuse flavor, then top with the grated parmesan cheese, making sure it covers the chicken well.
- Cook the Mixture: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
- Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). The potatoes should be soft enough to pierce easily with a fork.
- Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the chicken breasts and potatoes from the crockpot and plate them. Spoon any juices and sauce from the crockpot over the dish for enhanced flavor.
- Garnish: Chop fresh parsley finely and sprinkle it over the chicken and potatoes for a burst of color and a fresh herbaceous finish before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute baby potatoes with regular potatoes cut into chunks if preferred.
- For a creamier sauce, add a splash of heavy cream or sour cream in the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Adjust the red pepper flakes quantity according to your heat preference or omit for mild flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Ensure the crockpot is approximately half to two-thirds full to avoid uneven cooking or overflow.
