Description

Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes: Tender chicken and flavorful potatoes cooked together in a creamy garlic parmesan sauce. Comforting and delicious!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (900g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 pounds (900g) baby potatoes, halved (red or yellow work best)
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) chicken broth, low-sodium
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil
  • 1/2 cup (50g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
  • 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Seasoning Mixture In a medium bowl, combine the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, black pepper, melted butter, and olive oil. Stir until thoroughly combined, creating a fragrant herb and garlic infusion that will serve as the flavor base for your Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Potatoes Wash and halve the baby potatoes, leaving the skin on for texture and nutrition. Place the potato halves in the bottom of your 6-quart slow cooker, then pour about half of your seasoning mixture over them. Toss gently to ensure all potatoes are evenly coated with the garlic-herb mixture.
  3. Step 3: Prepare and Add the Chicken Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels (this helps the seasonings adhere better). Place the chicken thighs on top of the potatoes, then pour the remaining seasoning mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Pour the chicken broth around the edges of the crockpot, being careful not to wash away the seasonings.
  4. Step 4: Add the First Portion of Cheese Sprinkle half of your freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken and potatoes. This first layer will melt into the dish, infusing everything with rich, nutty flavor as it cooks.
  5. Step 5: Set the Cooking Time Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set to cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours. The low and slow method is preferred for maximum tenderness, but both will yield delicious results. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking, as this releases heat and can increase cooking time.
  6. Step 6: Add Remaining Cheese During the last 30 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top of the chicken. Replace the lid and continue cooking until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
  7. Step 7: Serve and Garnish Once cooking is complete, check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are fork-tender. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and additional Parmesan if desired before serving your Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes.
