Ingredients
Chicken and Potatoes
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 pounds quartered Yukon gold potatoes
Seasonings and Sauce
- 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 (12-ounce) bottle parmesan garlic sauce
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
Optional Garnish
- Fresh chopped parsley
- Additional grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Slow Cooker: Spray the inside of the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Add Potatoes: Place the quartered Yukon gold potatoes evenly at the bottom of the slow cooker to create a base for the dish.
- Prepare and Add Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle the dried Italian seasoning over the potatoes, then add the chicken on top in an even layer.
- Add Sauce Ingredients: Pour the parmesan garlic sauce and chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes. Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly on top.
- Combine: Gently stir everything together until the ingredients are well mixed and coated in sauce.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish with fresh chopped parsley and additional parmesan cheese if desired, adding a fresh and cheesy finish to the dish.
Notes
- You can substitute Yukon gold potatoes with red potatoes or baby potatoes cut into halves.
- For a richer flavor, use homemade or high-quality parmesan garlic sauce.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking to let some liquid evaporate.
- Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
