3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken

Preparing the Chicken and Potatoes

Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, dried thyme, rosemary, and Italian seasoning. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the chicken on both sides for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. This step enhances flavor but can be skipped for an even simpler, fuss-free version.

Assembling the Crockpot Dish

Place the halved potatoes at the bottom of your Crock-Pot Family-Size Slow Cooker. Layer the seared chicken breasts on top of the potatoes. Sprinkle minced garlic evenly over the chicken and potatoes. Pour chicken broth around the ingredients to keep everything moist during cooking.

Cooking the Chicken and Potatoes

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender. The slow cooker will meld all flavors perfectly, giving you juicy, flavorful chicken and deliciously soft potatoes.

Adding the Parmesan and Final Touches

About 10 minutes before serving, open the lid and sprinkle grated parmesan over the chicken and potatoes. Cover and cook on high for the remaining time to melt the cheese. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot for a comforting at-home dinner.

4. Storage Tips for Leftover Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, microwave or gently warm in the oven. For best results, add an extra sprinkle of parmesan and fresh herbs upon reheating for added flavor.
