Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • to taste Fresh parsley for garnish optional

Method
 

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

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasoning and olive oil for a few hours before cooking. You can add other vegetables like carrots or green beans for more nutrition. If you prefer a crispy top, you can place the cooked chicken under the broiler for a couple of minutes before serving. Make sure to check the chicken's internal temperature for safety and perfect doneness.
