Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Ingredients
- Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half. If the potatoes are large, quarter them.

Step 2: Layer the Crockpot
- Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or a little olive oil.
- Place the seasoned potatoes at the bottom of the crockpot.
- Season the chicken breasts with a little salt and pepper, then lay them on top of the potatoes.
Step 3: Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Stir in the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken and potatoes in the crockpot.
Step 4: Cook
- Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender, and the potatoes are soft.
