Ingredients
Chicken and Vegetables
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
Seasoning and 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 inside the crockpot, spreading them evenly for even cooking.
- Make the Garlic Parmesan Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine grated parmesan cheese, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and olive oil, stirring well to create a flavorful sauce.
- Combine and Coat: Pour the garlic parmesan mixture over the chicken and potatoes in the crockpot, ensuring everything is well-coated with the seasoning blend.
- Slow Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6 hours or on high heat for 3 hours, allowing the chicken to become tender and the potatoes to absorb the flavors.
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooking is complete, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish for a burst of fresh flavor and color before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute baby potatoes with red or Yukon gold potatoes if preferred.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the parmesan mixture.
- Ensure the chicken is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before serving.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.
- Adding a splash of chicken broth can make the dish slightly saucier if desired.
