Crock Pot Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 4 boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 lb. baby red potatoes, quartered
  • 2 tbsp. butter, softened
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp. freshly chopped thyme
  • 1 tbsp. oregano, dried
  • Freshly chopped parsley
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp. freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving

Directions


    • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and sear until golden brown. 

    • Meanwhile, in a large slow cooker or dutch oven, toss potatoes with remaining 2 tablespoons oil, butter, garlic, thyme, oregano and parsley. Add parmesan and season generously with salt and pepper. Add chicken and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours, until potatoes are tender and chicken is fully cooked. 

This is super easy and a great addition to the busier season now that kids are back to school.  You can use a traditional crock pot as mentioned above  or a dutch oven at 300 degrees for approximately 3- 4 hours.

Enjoy!

On a recent trip to Greece, I asked several women I met, what was their favorite chicken marinade. I took some notes and here is what I came up with when I got home.  I used boneless/skinless chicken breasts and grilled the chicken.

Marinade

1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar

Juice of one lemon

1 Tablespoon honey

2 teaspoons garlic powder

2 teaspoons dried oregano

¼ teaspoon ground paprika

cracked sea salt and black pepper to taste
