Nothing beats this Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes when I'm looking for something soothing but simple. Your kitchen will smell like you've got a little Italian restaurant going while the slow cooker handles everything for you.

I whipped this up after an exhausting day and couldn't believe how everyone went crazy for it. My fussiest child actually asked for more! Now we make it whenever we need something filling and warm without spending ages in the kitchen.

What You'll Need

  • Chicken breasts: grab some good quality ones for the juiciest results
  • Medium potatoes: Yukons or russets work great for perfect texture
  • Olive oil: a splash gives everything nice flavor
  • Salt and pepper: don't skip freshly ground for the best taste punch
  • Garlic powder and paprika: these basics pack tons of flavor
  • Minced garlic: fresh cloves make everything taste better
  • Paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning: this flavor team creates that Italian vibe
  • Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce: this shortcut brings all the creamy zesty magic
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese: full-fat melts into that perfect gooey topping

Cooking Steps

Get Those Potatoes Ready:
Give your spuds a good scrub and chop them into chunks around half to one inch big Keep the sizes similar so they'll all cook evenly
Layer and Flavor Your Potatoes:
Give your crockpot a quick spray then dump in the potato pieces Drizzle some olive oil over them and throw on salt pepper garlic powder and paprika Give everything a gentle toss so the seasoning hits all sides
Throw In The Garlic:
Drop in your minced garlic and mix it all up with the potatoes This makes sure that amazing garlic flavor gets everywhere
Fix Up Your Chicken:
Chop the chicken into bite-sized chunks and place them on top of the potato layer Sprinkle generously with salt pepper paprika onion powder and Italian seasoning Mix it around so each piece gets coated
Pour On The Magic Sauce:
Cover just the chicken pieces with the Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce Don't go overboard on the potatoes – focus on coating the chicken well
Let It Cook Away:
Set your crockpot to low and walk away for about six hours The chicken will get super tender and those potatoes will soften perfectly If you happen to be around halfway through give it a gentle stir
Add Cheesy Goodness:
Once everything's done cooking scatter a cup of shredded mozzarella all over the top Put the lid back on and wait till it gets all melty and gooey Don't mix it right away – let that cheese form a delicious blanket
Dig In:
Scoop out big portions of that cheesy chicken and potato goodness A little extra ranch or garlic parm sauce on top takes it to the next level

I can't get enough of that garlic parmesan sauce! Sometimes I sneak an extra dollop just on my portion because that tangy garlicky kick is so good. My little girl loves to help arrange the potatoes in the pot and swears it tastes better when she does it.

Keeping It Fresh

Cool everything down before you pack it away in sealed containers. It stays good in your fridge about three days. Want to save it longer? Stick portions in freezer bags. When you warm it up, do it slowly so your potatoes stay moist.

Switch It Up

Can't find that specific sauce? Mix mayo, parmesan, some roasted garlic and a dash of Italian herbs for a quick DIY version. Try red potatoes or even sweet potatoes for a twist. Want juicier meat? Boneless chicken thighs work wonders here.

What Goes With It

This dish stands alone but loves company too. Toss in some spinach during the final cooking stretch for color boost. A chunk of crusty garlic bread makes dinner complete. We often enjoy it with a simple green salad and some oven-roasted broccoli on the side.

Bit Of Background

Potatoes with garlic and parmesan is something Italian American families have enjoyed forever. While we're taking a shortcut with the premade sauce, we're tapping into flavor combos that grandmas have been using for ages. It's old-school comfort food made easy for today's busy folks.

Instructions

Step 01

Scrub the potatoes clean, then chop them into evenly sized cubes so they'll cook quickly and evenly.

Step 02

Spray the inside of your slow cooker to keep things from sticking. Toss the potato cubes inside, drizzle them with olive oil, sprinkle over some garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper, then mix in the minced garlic.

Step 03

Slice the chicken into small cubes. Sprinkle it with 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Coat well.

Step 04

Add the seasoned chicken pieces on top of the potatoes inside the slow cooker. Pour enough Garlic Parmesan Sauce over to coat everything evenly. Adjust the sauce amount to your liking.

Step 05

Cover the pot. Keep the heat on low for around 6 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender when poked.

Step 06

Stir the potatoes and chicken around to mix everything together. Scatter the mozzarella across the top, then leave it covered until the cheese melts all the way.

Step 07

Scoop servings onto plates and enjoy while hot. If you'd like, throw on some ranch dressing as a finishing touch!

Notes

  1. Cutting the potatoes into small, even pieces helps them cook as quickly as the meat.
