Ingredients
Chicken and Potatoes
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, quartered
Seasoning and Sauce
- 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 (12-ounce) bottle parmesan garlic sauce
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Crockpot: Spray the inside of a slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Layer Potatoes: Place the quartered Yukon gold potatoes evenly at the bottom of the slow cooker as a base layer.
- Cut Chicken: Cut boneless skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized, 1-inch pieces for even cooking and easy eating.
- Add Chicken and Seasoning: Place the chicken pieces on top of the potatoes and sprinkle the dried Italian seasoning evenly over them to infuse flavor.
- Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the parmesan garlic sauce and chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes, then sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese on top to create a rich sauce as it cooks.
- Combine: Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly without disrupting the layering too much.
- Cook: Cover with the slow cooker lid and cook the mixture on LOW setting for 4-5 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and potatoes are tender.
- Garnish and Serve: Once done, garnish with fresh chopped parsley and additional parmesan cheese if desired, then serve hot for a delicious comforting meal.
Notes
- For best flavor, use fresh parsley as garnish to add a burst of color and freshness.
- You can adjust cooking time depending on your slow cooker model; check tenderness of potatoes before serving.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, uncover the slow cooker and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes to reduce liquids.
- Feel free to swap potatoes for sweet potatoes for a different flavor and nutritional profile.
- Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
