Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil High-quality extra virgin is recommended.
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic is best.
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Wash and halve the baby potatoes.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to form a paste.
  3. Lightly grease the slow cooker and arrange the halved potatoes evenly over the bottom.
  4. Pour the garlic-oil mixture over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring everything is well coated. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until chicken is tender and the potatoes are fork-tender.
  2. Gently stir the dish once cooked, shredding the chicken if desired. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

For best results, start on LOW in the morning to allow flavors to meld, layer potatoes at the bottom for enhanced flavor, and add a splash of chicken broth for moisture.
