Scale
Chicken and Vegetables
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
Seasoning Mix
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the Crockpot: Place the chicken breasts and halved baby potatoes evenly in the crockpot to create a base for the seasoning.
- Make the Parmesan Garlic Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine grated parmesan cheese, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Mix thoroughly to create a flavorful sauce.
- Coat the Chicken and Potatoes: Pour the parmesan garlic mixture evenly over the chicken breasts and potatoes, ensuring everything is well-coated for maximum flavor absorption.
- Slow Cook: Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the dish for a burst of color and freshness before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use freshly grated parmesan cheese instead of pre-grated.
- Baby potatoes can be substituted with fingerling potatoes or small red potatoes.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking to reduce excess liquid.
- Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
- This recipe can be doubled to feed a larger crowd; adjust cooking time accordingly if needed.
