Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes is a comforting one-pot meal with juicy chicken breasts, creamy baby potatoes, and a savory garlic-Parmesan broth. This dish is easy to make and packed with flavor, perfect for busy days or cozy dinners.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and halve the baby potatoes and mince the garlic. Set aside.
- Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and season evenly with Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Layer the halved potatoes at the bottom of the crockpot. Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the potatoes.
- Pour the chicken broth evenly over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring they are well coated with the liquid.
- Distribute the minced garlic evenly over the chicken. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken breasts.
- Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C), and the potatoes should be fork-tender.
- After cooking, check the temperature of the chicken and the tenderness of the potatoes. Ladle the soup into bowls and spoon some of the broth over the chicken and potatoes for added flavor.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving (optional).
Notes
- Feel free to add vegetables like carrots, onions, or bell peppers for more texture and flavor.
- For a creamier version, stir in ½ cup of heavy cream or sour cream 30 minutes before the soup finishes cooking.
- Increase the red pepper flakes or add a diced jalapeño for a spicier kick.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
- If reheating, add a splash of chicken broth to loosen up the sauce if needed.
