Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.8 kg)
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved (about 680 g)
  • 1 cup chicken broth (240 ml)
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (50 g)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30 ml)
  • none Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly. Then, slice them in half for even cooking.
  2. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil. Sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) all over the chicken, ensuring it's well coated.
  3. Place the halved potatoes at the bottom of the crockpot, then layer the seasoned chicken on top of the potatoes.
  4. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes, helping to keep everything moist and flavorful.
  5. Sprinkle the minced garlic over the chicken, followed by a generous layer of grated parmesan cheese.
Cooking
  1. Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low heat for 6–7 hours or high heat for 3–4 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  2. Check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and that the potatoes are fork-tender.
Serving
  1. Carefully remove the chicken and potatoes from the crockpot, spoon any remaining sauce over the top, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Consider pairing this dish with a light green salad or grilled vegetables for added freshness. The sauce is great over rice or served alongside warm bread. You can also add other veggies like carrots or green beans for more nutrition and flavor!
