Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Pat chicken breasts dry. Wash and halve baby potatoes, ensuring a uniform size for even cooking.
- Make Garlic Parmesan Seasoning: In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to form a fragrant paste.
- Assemble in Slow Cooker: Lightly grease the slow cooker. Arrange the halved potatoes evenly on the bottom. Place chicken breasts over the potatoes.
- Add Seasoning and Cheese: Evenly pour the garlic-oil seasoning mixture over the chicken and potatoes. Sprinkle the 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese over everything.
- Slow Cook: Cover tightly and cook on the LOW setting for 6-8 hours, or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded, and the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Finish and Serve: Once cooked, gently stir the dish and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve hot.
