Description

Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes is an easy, family-friendly slow cooker recipe made with garlic, herbs, parmesan sauce, and melty mozzarella. It’s hearty, creamy, and perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breasts, cubed

    5 medium potatoes, cubed

    2 Tbsp olive oil

    Salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika (for potatoes)

    ½ tsp salt

    ½ tsp pepper

    1 tsp paprika

    1 tsp onion powder

    1 tsp Italian seasoning

    2 Tbsp minced garlic

    Garlic Parmesan sauce (enough to coat chicken)

    1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese


Instructions

  • Prep the potatoes. Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into small, bite‑sized cubes.

  • Season the potatoes. In a bowl or directly in the crockpot, toss the potato cubes with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir to coat evenly.

  • Add garlic. Add the 2 Tbsp minced garlic, and stir together so the garlic mixes among the potatoes and seasoning.

  • Season and prepare chicken. Cut the chicken breasts into cubes. In a bowl, sprinkle with ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp onion powder, and 1 tsp Italian seasoning. Toss to coat evenly.

  • Add garlic Parmesan sauce. Add just enough sauce to coat the chicken — it doesn’t need to drown, just enough to flavor. You can add more later if desired.

  • Layer into crockpot. Spray your crockpot with nonstick cooking spray, then place the seasoned potatoes. Nestle the coated chicken cubes on top.

  • Slow cook. Cover and cook on low for about 6 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through.

  • Stir and top cheese. Once cooked, stir everything gently so sauce mixes with potatoes. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top, cover, and let sit until melted (a few minutes).

  • Serve. Optionally top with ranch or fresh herbs, then serve hot and enjoy.


Notes

Cut potatoes evenly for best texture. Add veggies like peas or carrots during the last hour if desired. Adjust sauce to taste. Use a liner for easy cleanup.
