Scale
Chicken and Vegetables
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
Garlic Parmesan Sauce
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Garnish
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the crockpot: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts and halved baby potatoes evenly in the bottom of the crockpot.
- Make the garlic parmesan mixture: In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine the grated parmesan cheese, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and olive oil to create a flavorful sauce.
- Coat the chicken and potatoes: Pour the prepared parmesan garlic mixture evenly over the chicken breasts and potatoes in the crockpot, ensuring everything is well coated.
- Cook: Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low heat for 6 hours, or alternatively on high heat for 3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
- Garnish and serve: Once cooking is complete, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the dish for a fresh finish and serve warm.
Notes
- To ensure even cooking, choose baby potatoes of similar size or cut larger ones so they cook evenly alongside the chicken.
- For extra flavor, you can add a splash of chicken broth or white wine before cooking.
- This dish can be served with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
- If you prefer a creamier sauce, stir in 1/4 cup of heavy cream or sour cream during the last hour of cooking.
- Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the microwave or oven.
