Equipment

Method

  6. Sprinkle minced garlic evenly over chicken, then add grated parmesan cheese on top.
  7. Cover crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature.
  8. Check that chicken is cooked through (165°F) and potatoes are fork-tender.
  9. Remove chicken and potatoes gently from crockpot and spoon remaining sauce over the top.
  10. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired before serving.

Notes

Cooking times may vary depending on crockpot model. Can use frozen chicken breasts but increase cooking time by 1-2 hours. For extra flavor, add a splash of lemon juice before serving. Store leftovers in airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
