– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 4 large potatoes, cut into chunks
– 1 stick of unsalted butter, melted
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 4 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Follow these simple steps to create your Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes perfectly:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by placing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot.
2. Add Potatoes: Layer the potato chunks over the chicken. Spread them evenly to ensure proper cooking.
3. Make the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the melted butter, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until fully combined.
4. Pour Sauce: Carefully pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring everything is well coated.
5. Cover and Cook: Place the lid on the crockpot and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. The longer you cook, the more tender the chicken will be.
6. Check Doneness: About 30 minutes before serving, check the internal temperature of the chicken, which should reach 165°F (75°C).
7. Garnish: Once done, sprinkle with fresh parsley for a burst of color and added flavor before serving.
8. Serve: Spoon the chicken and potatoes into bowls, using the sauce from the crockpot to add extra flavor.
Essentially, you’ll have a delicious meal that requires minimal hands-on time while delivering incredible flavors that everyone will love.
