Description
A hearty and flavorful dish featuring tender chicken breasts cooked in garlic and parmesan, served with creamy baby potatoes, all made effortlessly in the crockpot.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Wash the baby potatoes and halve them. Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
- Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) until evenly coated.
- Layer the halved potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot. Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top.
- Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring they are well coated.
- Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the chicken. Then, add the grated parmesan cheese on top.
- Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
- Check if the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes should be fork-tender.
- Once cooked, gently remove the chicken and potatoes from the crockpot. Spoon any remaining sauce over the top.
- If desired, chop fresh parsley and sprinkle over the dish before serving.
