Description
Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes is a hearty, comforting, and flavor-packed one-pot meal made effortlessly in the slow cooker. Juicy chicken, tender potatoes, and a creamy garlic Parmesan sauce come together for a delicious family dinner with minimal prep and maximum flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes, halved
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella (optional, for extra creaminess)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crockpot: Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or a bit of butter.
- Add Ingredients: Arrange chicken breasts in the crockpot and add the halved baby potatoes around them.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken and potatoes, making sure everything is coated.
- Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
- Optional: In the last 10 minutes, sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top, cover, and let it melt for a creamy finish.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
Notes
- Use red or Yukon gold potatoes — they hold their shape well during slow cooking.
- Substitute half-and-half or evaporated milk for a lighter sauce.
- Add broccoli or green beans during the last 30 minutes for a full one-pot meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated gently in a skillet or microwave.
