Ingredients
  

  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1.5 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Equipment

  • Slow cooker (Crock Pot)
  • small bowl
  • whisk
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Prepare the potatoes: Wash, peel (optional), and cube the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Place them in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. Season the chicken: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. Coat the chicken: Rub the garlic-herb mixture all over the chicken thighs (or breasts).
  4. Assemble the dish: Place the seasoned chicken on top of the potatoes in the slow cooker.
  5. Add broth and Parmesan: Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes. Sprinkle the 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
  6. Slow cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
  7. Finishing touches: Stir in the butter until melted.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese before serving.
  9. Serve: Serve hot, right out of the Crock-Pot.

Notes

For best results, use Yukon gold potatoes as they hold their shape well during slow cooking. Adjust the amount of garlic and Parmesan to your preference. To prevent the Parmesan from clumping, add half during cooking and the rest at the end. For extra flavor, sear the chicken before adding it to the slow cooker. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
