How to Make Incredible Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Step-by-Step

Step 1: Pat chicken dry. Cut breasts into 1.5-2 inch chunks, or halve large thighs. Toss chicken with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp oregano, and 1/4 tsp thyme.
Step 2: Wash potatoes and cut into uniform 1-1.5 inch pieces (leave skin on or peel). Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp oregano, and 1/4 tsp thyme.
Step 3: Mince 8-10 cloves fresh garlic. Crush dried rosemary. Grate 1 cup fresh Parmesan cheese; divide into 3/4 cup and 1/4 cup portions. Cut 4 tbsp unsalted butter into small pats. Chop fresh parsley/chives for garnish.
Step 4: Lightly grease a 6-quart or larger slow cooker or use a liner. Layer seasoned potatoes evenly in the slow cooker, then arrange seasoned chicken over the potatoes. Sprinkle minced garlic and crushed rosemary over chicken and potatoes.
Step 5: Pour 1 cup chicken broth over ingredients. Dot with unsalted butter pats. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 6: Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until chicken is tender (165°F) and potatoes are fork-tender. Do not lift lid too often during cooking.
Step 7: (Optional) For thicker sauce, whisk 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp cold water. Remove 1 cup hot liquid, temper with slurry, then return to crockpot. Cook on HIGH for 15-30 minutes until thickened.
Step 8: Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese over the dish; cover and let melt for 5-10 minutes on warm setting or with residual heat. Let rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives. Serve as a complete meal, or with a side salad or crusty bread.
