Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved or quartered
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

– ½ teaspoon salt

– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 2-3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Creating Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes is as easy as following these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and halve (or quarter) the baby potatoes. Place them in the bottom of your crockpot.
2. Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix together the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture on both sides of each chicken breast.
3. Heat the Olive Oil: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Brown the seasoned chicken breasts for about 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly golden. This step is optional but enhances the flavor.
4. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, minced garlic, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese.
5. Layer in the Crockpot: Place the browned chicken breasts on top of the potatoes in the crockpot. Pour the broth mixture over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring everything is well distributed.
6. Cook: Cover the crockpot and set to low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. Cook until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
7. Add Remaining Cheese: About 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken and potatoes. Cover and let it melt.
8. Garnish: Once finished, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for a pop of color and added freshness.
9. Serve: Carefully transfer everything to a large serving platter.
By following these steps, you will have a dish bursting with flavor and comfort, ready to be enjoyed!
