Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
Seasoning and Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) Adjust according to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
Garnish
  • Fresh parsley (optional for garnish) Chop before serving for added color

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash the baby potatoes and halve them.
  2. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes until evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Place the halved potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot, followed by the seasoned chicken breasts on top.
  2. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring they are well coated.
  3. Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the chicken. Then, add the grated Parmesan cheese on top, making sure 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 cooked through.
  5. After the cooking time, check if the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). The potatoes should be fork-tender.
  6. Once cooked, remove the chicken and potatoes gently from the crockpot. Spoon any remaining sauce over the top for extra flavor.
  7. If desired, chop fresh parsley and sprinkle over the dish for added color and flavor before serving.

Notes

Consider adding seasonal vegetables like carrots or green beans for added nutrition. Adjust spice levels to suit your taste by modifying red pepper flakes or adding paprika. This recipe also works well with pork chops or firm tofu for variation.
