Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs (900g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 lbs (900g) baby potatoes, halved (red or gold work best)
- 6 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
- 1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil
- 1/4 cup (60ml) chicken broth
- 1/2 cup (50g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients Begin by washing and halving your baby potatoes – no need to peel them as the skins add texture and nutrients. Pat your chicken thighs dry with paper towels (this helps them brown better later) and trim any excess fat. In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to create your seasoning mix.
- Step 2: Season and Layer Coat the bottom of your crockpot with a tablespoon of olive oil. Place the halved potatoes in the bottom of your slow cooker and drizzle with half the olive oil and sprinkle with half the seasoning mix. Toss to ensure even coating. Next, place the chicken thighs on top of the potatoes and drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Sprinkle the rest of your seasoning mix evenly over the chicken.
- Step 3: Add Aromatics and Liquid Scatter the minced fresh garlic over everything, making sure some falls between the chicken pieces and some reaches the potatoes. Pour the chicken broth around the edges of the crockpot (not directly on top of the chicken to preserve the seasoning). Dot the butter pieces across the top of the chicken.
- Step 4: Cook to Perfection Cover and cook your Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes should be fork-tender. Remember, every slow cooker is different, so your cooking time may vary slightly.
- Step 5: Add the Finishing Touches During the last 30 minutes of cooking, sprinkle half a cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken and potatoes. Replace the lid and continue cooking until the cheese melts into a glorious crust. Before serving, garnish your **Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes** with freshly chopped parsley and additional Parmesan if desired.
