Let’s Make Some Magic: Step-by-Step

Making Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to create a delicious meal:

1. Begin by washing the baby potatoes and halving them. Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
2. Season the Chicken: Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) until evenly coated.
3. Place Ingredients in Crockpot: Layer the halved potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot. Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top.
4. Add Chicken Broth: Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring they are well coated.
5. Add Garlic and Cheese: Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the chicken. Then, add the grated parmesan cheese on top, making sure it covers the chicken nicely.
6. Cook the Mixture: 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.
7. After the recommended cooking time, check if the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). The potatoes should be fork-tender.
8. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove the chicken and potatoes gently from the crockpot. Spoon any remaining sauce over the top for extra flavor.
9. Garnish: If desired, chop fresh parsley and sprinkle over the dish for added color and flavor before serving.

A Few of My Favorite Tips

Here are some secrets to elevate your dish:

How I Like to Serve This

This dish is a delight on its own, but I love serving it with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. A crusty piece of bread is perfect for soaking up the delicious sauce!

Storing & Reheating (If There’s Any Left!)
