Description

A comforting and flavorful slow cooker dish featuring tender chicken breasts and Yukon gold potatoes simmered in a rich parmesan garlic sauce, perfect for an easy weeknight dinner.


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

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Spray the inside of the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Add Potatoes: Place the quartered Yukon gold potatoes evenly at the bottom of the slow cooker to create a base for the dish.
  3. 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.
  4. Add Sauce Ingredients: Pour the parmesan garlic sauce and chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes. Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly on top.
  5. Combine: Gently stir everything together until the ingredients are well mixed and coated in sauce.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
