Ingredients

Scale

4 chicken breasts

4 medium potatoes, diced

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup chicken broth

2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1. In a slow cooker, add the diced potatoes and place the chicken breasts on top.

2. In a bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, chicken broth, and olive oil. Stir well.

3. Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken and potatoes.

4. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until chicken is fully cooked and potatoes are tender.

5. Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.

Notes

How to serve: Scoop generous portions onto plates, topping with extra Parmesan. Pair with a fresh salad or steamed veggies for a complete meal.

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 3–4 days, or freeze up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove until warmed through.

Pro tips: Swap Parmesan with Pecorino Romano or cheddar for a twist. Add vegetables like carrots or broccoli for more variety. For a creamy version, stir in a can of cream of chicken soup. Always check chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) for doneness.

Variation: Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for extra juiciness, or add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for deeper flavor.
