Description
Tender, juicy chicken and perfectly cooked potatoes slow-cooked in a rich garlic Parmesan sauce — a creamy, flavorful, and easy one-pot meal made right in your crockpot.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Lightly grease your crockpot with cooking spray or a little butter.
- Place halved baby potatoes at the bottom of the crockpot and layer chicken breasts on top.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Pour the garlic Parmesan sauce evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
- Stir gently before serving to coat everything in the creamy sauce.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and additional Parmesan if desired.
Notes
- Use chicken thighs for extra tenderness and flavor.
- Add steamed broccoli or green beans just before serving for a complete meal.
- For a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last 20 minutes of cooking or stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon water).
- This recipe also works great with shredded chicken for meal prep bowls.
