Description

This Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes recipe is an easy, hearty one-pot meal perfect for busy days. Tender chicken breasts and baby potatoes slowly cook together in a flavorful garlic Parmesan sauce, enhanced with Italian seasoning and optionally enriched with creamy heavy cream. Garnished with fresh parsley, this comforting dish requires minimal prep and the crockpot does all the work, making it an ultimate convenient dinner choice.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Vegetables

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced

Sauce

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream (optional for a creamy sauce)

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning to infuse the meat with classic herb flavors.
  2. Layer in Crockpot: Place the seasoned chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot to ensure even cooking.
  3. Add Potatoes: Halve the baby potatoes and layer them on top of the chicken, allowing them to absorb the aromatic juices during cooking.
  4. Prepare Sauce: In a bowl, mix together the minced garlic, chicken broth, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Pour this flavorful sauce evenly over the chicken and potatoes in the crockpot.
  5. Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and the potatoes are tender.
  6. Add Cream (Optional): If you desire a richer sauce, stir in the heavy cream in the final 30 minutes of cooking to create a creamy texture.
  7. Finish with Cheese: About 10 minutes before serving, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top and cover again to let the cheese melt beautifully into the dish.
  8. Garnish: Once cooking is complete, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley on top to add a fresh, vibrant touch.
  9. Serve: Gently stir the entire dish to combine the flavors before serving, enjoying a deliciously hearty meal.

Notes

  • Using baby potatoes ensures even cooking and quicker cook time.
  • Heavy cream is optional but adds a luscious, creamy texture to the sauce.
  • For thicker sauce, remove lid during last 30 minutes to reduce liquid slightly.
  • Fresh parsley garnish adds color and a burst of freshness.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste if you prefer less salt or more herbs.
  • Ensure chicken breasts are fully cooked by checking internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
