Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breasts
- 2 cup chopped potatoes
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 cup Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
1. To start, you’ll want to prepare the potatoes. Wash and chop them into bite-sized pieces, then toss them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. This will give them a delicious seasoned flavor as they cook.
2. Next, layer the seasoned potatoes in the bottom of your slow cooker. Then, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Place the seasoned chicken on top of the potatoes.
3. Spread the minced garlic evenly over the chicken, and then pour enough Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce to thoroughly coat the chicken. This will infuse the meat with a rich, savory garlic Parmesan flavor as it cooks.
4. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender. In the last 30 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top, cover, and let it melt.
5. When the Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes is ready, serve it warm, garnished with extra Parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
To ensure your Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes turns out perfectly, here are a few tips and tricks:
Optimal Cooking Times: Cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours for best results. Adjust times as needed based on your slow cooker’s power.
Juicy Chicken: Browning the chicken breasts before adding them to the slow cooker can help lock in moisture and prevent dryness.
Tender Potatoes: Chopping the potatoes into bite-sized pieces ensures they cook through evenly and become deliciously tender.
Suggested Equipment: A 6-quart or larger slow cooker works best for this recipe, allowing enough space for the chicken and potatoes to cook properly.
