4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-
1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
-
1 cup chicken broth
-
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Prepare Ingredients: Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Mince the garlic cloves.

Season Chicken: Rub chicken breasts with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
-
Layer in Crockpot: Place halved potatoes at the bottom of the crockpot and lay the seasoned chicken on top.

Add Broth: Pour chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes.
-
Add Garlic and Cheese: Sprinkle minced garlic evenly over the chicken, then top with grated parmesan cheese.
-
Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and potatoes are fork-tender.

Notes
-
For extra flavor, sear the chicken in a skillet for 2–3 minutes per side before adding to the crockpot.
-
Add a splash of white wine or a squeeze of lemon juice to the broth for a subtle brightness.
-
For a cheesy twist, stir in an extra ¼ cup of parmesan just before serving.
-
Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat beautifully.
