Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved (about 680 grams)
  • 1 cup chicken broth (240 ml)
  • 0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese (50 grams)
  • 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 (30 ml)
  • to taste Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by washing the baby potatoes and then halving them for even cooking.
  2. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) until fully coated.
Cooking
  1. Place the halved potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot. On top, layer the seasoned chicken breasts.
  2. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes to keep everything moist and flavorful.
  3. Sprinkle minced garlic evenly over the chicken. Next, add the grated parmesan cheese on top, ensuring 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 fully cooked.
  5. After cooking, ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and that the potatoes are fork-tender.
  6. Gently remove the chicken and potatoes from the crockpot. Spoon any remaining sauce over the top for extra flavor.
Garnishing
  1. Chop fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the dish for a burst of color and flavor before serving.

Notes

To make this meal even heartier, consider adding some carrots or green beans to the crockpot. For an extra cheesy experience, mix some additional parmesan cheese into the potatoes during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
