Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, washed and 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
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the ingredients:
   Wash the baby potatoes and cut them in half. Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
2. Season the chicken:
   Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) until evenly coated.
3. Layer in the crockpot:
   Place the halved potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot. Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts on top.
4. Add the broth:
   Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes, making sure everything gets some moisture.
5. Add garlic and Parmesan:
   Sprinkle the minced garlic over the chicken, then add the grated Parmesan cheese on top.

6. Slow cook:
   Cover and cook:

   • On Low for 6–7 hours, or
   • On High for 3–4 hours

   Cook until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.

7. Check for doneness:
   Make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes are fork-tender.
8. Serve:
   Carefully remove the chicken and potatoes from the crockpot. Spoon the remaining garlic Parmesan sauce over the top for extra flavor.
9. Garnish:
   Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley if desired, then serve warm.
