Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp paprika (optional)
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Make the marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Coat chicken & potatoes: Add chicken and halved baby potatoes to the bowl, tossing until well coated.
- Slow cook: Transfer mixture to crockpot, layering potatoes on the bottom. Cover and cook on low 6–7 hours or high 3.5–4 hours, until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
- Finish & serve: Gently stir, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
Notes
- For best flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan.
- Layer potatoes at the bottom for even cooking.
