Instructions
Preparation

Cooking
- Layer the halved potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot. Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top.
- Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring they are well coated.
- Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the chicken. Add the grated parmesan cheese on top.
- 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.
- Check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Once cooked, gently remove the chicken and potatoes from the crockpot. Spoon any remaining sauce over the top for extra flavor.
- Chop fresh parsley and sprinkle over the dish before serving if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the seasoning for a few hours before cooking. You can add additional veggies like carrots or green beans for more nutrition. If you like it spicy, increase the amount of red pepper flakes. Substitute chicken breasts with thighs or try different cheeses like mozzarella or cheddar for variation.
