Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Potatoes
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
Garlic Parmesan Sauce
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Place the chicken breasts and halved baby potatoes evenly in the crockpot base to form the foundation of your dish.
- Make the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated parmesan cheese, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Stir well to create a flavorful garlic parmesan sauce.
- Combine and Coat: Pour the prepared garlic parmesan mixture evenly over the chicken and potatoes in the crockpot, ensuring everything is nicely coated to absorb all the flavors.
- Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid. Cook on low heat for 6 hours or on high heat for 3 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked, and the potatoes are soft.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a burst of color and fresh herbal flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute baby potatoes with fingerling or new potatoes if preferred.
- For extra richness, add a splash of heavy cream in the sauce mixture before cooking.
- If fresh parsley is unavailable, dried parsley can be used, but add it during cooking instead of as a garnish.
- Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before serving for safety.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
