Description

Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes is a hearty, flavorful slow-cooked meal made with tender chicken breasts, creamy garlic-parmesan sauce, and baby potatoes. It’s perfect for busy weeknights or cozy family dinners, offering rich flavor and effortless preparation.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts: provides lean protein and becomes tender in the crockpot
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved: absorb the savory sauce and become soft and flavorful
  • 1 cup chicken broth: adds moisture and depth of flavor
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese: gives a salty, nutty flavor and creamy texture
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced: delivers bold, aromatic flavor
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning: adds herbal depth
  • 1 teaspoon salt: enhances all the flavors
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper: adds mild heat and balance
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional): provides a slight spicy kick
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil: helps coat the chicken for seasoning and moisture
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional): adds freshness and color


Instructions

  1. Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
  2. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) until well coated.
  3. Place the halved potatoes at the bottom of the crockpot.
  4. Lay the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the potatoes.
  5. Pour the chicken broth over the ingredients evenly.
  6. Sprinkle minced garlic and grated parmesan cheese over the top.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and potatoes are fork-tender.
  8. Check internal temperature of the chicken (165°F) before serving.
  9. Serve warm with a drizzle of the sauce from the crockpot. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
