Description
This creamy, garlicky dish features tender chicken and buttery potatoes, all cooked to perfection in a slow cooker. It’s a comforting meal that practically cooks itself!
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 1⁄3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
1. Rinse and halve the baby potatoes, and mince the garlic if it’s not already done.
2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, thyme, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then coat them with the herb and Parmesan cheese mixture ensuring even coverage.
4. Place the halved baby potatoes in the bottom of a slow cooker. Drizzle a little olive oil over the potatoes and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
5. Nestle the coated chicken breasts on top of the potatoes in the slow cooker.
6. Pour the chicken broth around the sides of the chicken to keep the herbs in place and help contribute moisture.
7. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low for 6–8 hours or until the chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
8. Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken and potatoes from the slow cooker and place on a serving dish.
9. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and a pop of color.
10. Serve warm and enjoy your Slow Cooker Parmesan Garlic Chicken and Potatoes.
Notes
You can substitute chicken thighs for the breasts for a juicier result.
For a more intense garlic flavor, increase the garlic to 4 teaspoons.
If you like a little kick, consider adding a dash of red pepper flakes.
This dish pairs beautifully with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
