• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (or mix of basil, oregano, thyme)

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• 1 teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• ½ cup chicken broth

• 3 tablespoons olive oil

• Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the crockpot: Spray your slow cooker insert with cooking spray or lightly grease.

2. Mix the sauce: In a bowl, combine minced garlic, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, pepper, olive oil, and chicken broth.

3. Layer ingredients: Place the potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot. Add the chicken breasts on top.

4. Pour the mixture: Spread the garlic Parmesan mixture evenly over the chicken and potatoes.

5. Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.

6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and enjoy!

Tips

• For crispier chicken skin, you can sear the chicken breasts in a pan before adding them to the crockpot.

• Add vegetables like green beans or carrots in the last hour of cooking for extra flavor.

• Leftovers reheat well and make great next-day meals!
