Learn how to make delicious Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, thyme, oregano, basil, and paprika. This is a step that always reminds me of my abuela’s diligent seasoning practices, ensuring every bite is packed with flavor.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. This step seals in the juices, just like my grandmother taught me.
Transfer the chicken to the bottom of your crockpot. Surround the chicken with the halved baby potatoes.
Sprinkle the minced garlic and grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken and potatoes.
Dot with cubed butter, distributing it evenly across the top. The butter will melt into the potatoes and chicken, creating a luscious sauce.
Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The slow cooking process is perfect for busy days, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully over time.
Before serving, give everything a gentle stir to coat the potatoes with the buttery, cheesy goodness. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
