Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Pat chicken breasts dry. Season all sides with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning.
Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove chicken and set aside.
Spread halved baby potatoes evenly at the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Place seared chicken breasts on top of the potatoes.
Evenly sprinkle 5 cloves minced garlic and half (1/4 cup) of the grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken and potatoes.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours, or on HIGH for 2.5-3.5 hours, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and potatoes are fork-tender.
Optional: Shred the cooked chicken directly into the slow cooker to mix with the potatoes and any developed juices/sauce.
Just before serving, sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley. Serve warm.
