Description
Tender chicken and buttery baby potatoes are slow-cooked in a rich garlic Parmesan sauce, creating a comforting one-pot meal with minimal effort and maximum flavor.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chicken broth
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Optional: extra Parmesan for topping
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Place the chicken and halved baby potatoes in the slow cooker.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and potatoes, then sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly on top.
- Pour the chicken broth around the sides of the slow cooker to keep everything moist.
- 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 soft.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan if desired.
Notes
Use chicken thighs for a richer flavor or chicken breasts for a leaner option.
Try substituting red or sweet potatoes for a different twist.
Add green beans or carrots in the last hour of cooking for added veggies.
For a creamier version, stir in heavy cream or cream cheese during the last 30 minutes.
Make sure broth and seasonings are gluten-free if you have dietary restrictions.
