Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tbsp dried Italian herbs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Equipment

  • 6-quart or larger Crockpot
  • Large bowl
  • small bowl
  • whisk
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • knife
  • Cutting board
  • Skillet (optional)

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Chicken and Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken and potatoes.
  2. Flavor Infusion: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, Italian herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper.
  3. Coat the Mixture: Pour the butter-garlic mixture over the chicken and potatoes, and toss to ensure everything is evenly coated.
  4. Layer in the Crockpot: Transfer the chicken and potato mixture to the bottom of a 6-quart or larger Crockpot.
  5. Add Broth: Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes.
  6. Slow Cook: Cover the Crockpot 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. Parmesan Finish: During the last 30 minutes of cooking, stir in half of the Parmesan cheese (1/4 cup).
  8. Serve and Garnish: Once cooked, stir the chicken and potatoes to ensure everything is coated in the sauce.
  9. Final Touch: Serve immediately, garnished with the remaining Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.

Notes

For added flavor, lightly sear the chicken cubes in a skillet with a bit of olive oil before adding them to the Crockpot. Placing the potato cubes at the bottom of the Crockpot, followed by the chicken, helps protect the potatoes from direct heat. Monitor the chicken and potatoes closely to prevent overcooking. Feel free to add other vegetables like broccoli or carrots during the last hour of cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
