Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Protein

01 - 900 grams boneless, skinless chicken breasts

→ Vegetables

02 - 680 grams baby potatoes, halved

→ Sauce and Seasoning

03 - 45 milliliters olive oil
04 - 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
05 - 5 cloves garlic, minced
06 - 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
07 - 0.5 teaspoon salt
08 - 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

→ Garnish

09 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Lightly grease the crockpot with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking and add subtle richness.
02 - Place the halved baby potatoes evenly at the bottom of the crockpot, then lay the chicken breasts on top.
03 - In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until well blended.
04 - Pour the Parmesan garlic mixture evenly over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring thorough coating.
05 - Cover and cook on low heat in the crockpot for 4 hours to allow flavors to meld and ingredients to become tender.
06 - Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the cooked dish before serving to add a fresh herbal note and vibrant color.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Use thawed chicken breasts for even cooking; freezing can affect texture and cooking time.
02 - Leftovers keep in the refrigerator up to 3 days; reheat gently to preserve moisture.
03 - For dairy-free versions, omit Parmesan or substitute with nutritional yeast.
