Set it and forget it! This Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes Recipe delivers the comfort food coziness of your favorite chicken with potatoes and garlic recipe,but completely hands free!

This Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes is a go-to in my house because I know it’s always a hit and appetite.Especially a weeknight or bringing it to a dinner party.

You know those days when you really do not feel like cooking yet you also do not want to eat cereal for dinner again and that was exactly me last Tuesday because I opened the fridge and I stared at a pack of chicken thighs as if they might magically cook themselves and then I sighed but then I remembered this recipe and it is simple and it is hearty and it smells like comfort and the best part is that the crockpot does all the heavy lifting.

A piece of advice you should not forget I made this I forgot to plug the slow cooker in and after five hours I came back to raw chicken and dashed hopes which was classic but when it actually works and it will because I double checked this time it turns out like pure gold since it is garlicky and it is cheesy and those potatoes taste like buttery little pillows and I was literally hovering over the crockpot with a fork like a gremlin.

And have you ever had that moment when you think you will just take one more bite and suddenly half the pot is gone because there is no judgment since I have been there too.

Kitchen Equipment Needed :

• Slow cooker “crockpot”

Tips for

Use chicken thighs for more juiciness , they stay moist even after hours of cooking.

Don’t overcook , use a meat thermometer, chicken is ready at 165°F (74°C).

Grate fresh parmesan , it melts better and gives the sauce a stronger flavor than pre-shredded cheese.

Add veggies : toss in carrots, broccoli, or green beans during the last hour of cooking.

Make it lighter : use half-and-half instead of heavy cream or try Greek yogurt mixed with milk.
