Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 6 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
Now that you have your ingredients ready, follow these simple steps to create the Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Chicken And Potatoes:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Begin by washing the chicken breasts and patting them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Halve the Potatoes: Rinse the baby potatoes and cut them in half to ensure even cooking.
3. Sauté Garlic: In a small skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, sauté the minced garlic for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but do not burn.
4. Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the chicken broth, heavy cream, grated parmesan cheese, sautéed garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
5. Set Up the Crockpot: Place the halved potatoes at the bottom of the crockpot, and lay the seasoned chicken breasts on top.
6. Pour the Sauce: Gently pour the garlic parmesan sauce over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring everything is well coated.
7. Cook: Cover the crockpot and select the low setting for 6 to 8 hours or the high setting for 3 to 4 hours.
8. Check for Doneness: The chicken should be cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
9. Thicken the Sauce (Optional): If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the chicken after cooking, and let the sauce simmer in the crockpot for an additional 15-20 minutes with the lid off.
10. Garnish: Just before serving, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
