Ingredients
  

For the chicken
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts use fresh for the best flavor
  • 1 cup chicken broth adds moisture and flavor to the dish
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese for that rich, cheesy goodness
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced enhances the flavor beautifully
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning brings a blend of herbaceous flavors
  • 1 teaspoon salt to season the chicken perfectly
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper for a hint of warmth
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional, for a little kick if you like heat
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil helps to season the chicken and add richness
For the potatoes
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved these cook quickly and are delicious
For garnish
  • Fresh parsley optional, adds a pop of color and freshness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by washing the baby potatoes and halving them.
  2. Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside for later.
  3. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) until evenly coated.
  4. Layer the halved potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot.
  5. Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the potatoes.
  6. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring they are well coated.
  7. Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the chicken.
  8. Add the grated parmesan cheese on top, covering the chicken nicely.
Cooking
  1. 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.
  2. Once cooked, ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and that the potatoes are fork-tender.
  3. Carefully remove the chicken and potatoes from the crockpot.
  4. Spoon any remaining sauce over the top for extra flavor.
  5. If desired, chop fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the dish for added color and flavor before serving.

Notes

Serve with a crisp green salad or steamed vegetables to balance the richness. For casual occasions, pair with crusty bread to soak up the sauce. To ensure the best results, avoid overcrowding the crockpot and adjust seasoning to taste. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 3 months.
