Serve straight from the crockpot with a side salad or steamed vegetables; add a drizzle of melted butter or extra Parmesan if you like.

Storage: cool completely, refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days; reheat in microwave or on LOW in the crockpot until warmed through.

Tips: marinate chicken in the butter–garlic mixture for a few hours for extra flavor; swap baby potatoes for regular potatoes cut small; add red pepper flakes for heat.

Variation: add carrots or green beans for a full one-pot meal; try mozzarella or cheddar in place of Parmesan for a different flavor.

FAQs:

• Frozen chicken? Yes—use, but increase cook time.

• Regular potatoes instead of baby? Absolutely—cut into small chunks.

• Must it be Parmesan? No—omit or use another cheese if preferred.
