Description

This Slow Cooker Parmesan Garlic Chicken and Potatoes recipe is a comforting and easy meal perfect for busy days. Juicy boneless chicken and tender baby potatoes are seasoned with a flavorful blend of Parmesan cheese, garlic, and Italian herbs, then slow-cooked to perfection, making a delicious one-pot dish that requires minimal effort while delivering maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Chicken and Potatoes

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved

Seasoning Mix

  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Other Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: extra Parmesan for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the seasoning mixture: In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to make a uniform seasoning blend.
  2. Arrange chicken and potatoes: Place the boneless chicken thighs or breasts and halved baby potatoes evenly into the slow cooker, ensuring they are spread out for even cooking.
  3. Add oil and seasoning: Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and potatoes carefully. Then sprinkle the prepared Parmesan and garlic seasoning mixture evenly on top to coat everything well.
  4. Pour chicken broth: Gently pour the chicken broth around the edges of the slow cooker, avoiding washing away the seasoning, to keep the ingredients moist throughout the cooking process.
  5. Slow cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours or on high heat for 3 to 4 hours until the chicken is tender and the potatoes are fully cooked and soft.
  6. Serve: Once cooked, serve the chicken and potatoes hot, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley and extra Parmesan cheese if desired for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • You can use either chicken thighs or breasts depending on your preference; thighs tend to be juicier and more flavorful in slow cooking.
  • If baby potatoes are not available, use regular potatoes cut into small chunks for even cooking.
  • To enhance flavor, you can brown the chicken in a skillet before adding to the slow cooker, though this step is optional.
  • Adjust seasoning quantities based on your taste preferences, especially salt and pepper.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
