Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 4–6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

Vegetables

  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes (halved if large)
  • 4–6 garlic cloves, minced

Dairy

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pats

Oils & Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken and Potatoes: Rinse the baby potatoes and cut any larger ones in half to ensure even cooking. Pat dry the chicken thighs thoroughly with paper towels. Season both the chicken and potatoes with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to create a flavorful base.
  2. Combine Ingredients in the Crockpot: Layer the potatoes at the bottom of the crockpot evenly. Place the seasoned chicken thighs on top of the potatoes. Spread the minced garlic evenly over the chicken pieces. Generously sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken and potatoes. Dot the dish with small pats of butter to add richness throughout.
  3. Set and Slow Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid. Cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours or on high heat for 3 to 4 hours. The low and slow cooking method yields tender, juicy chicken and perfectly cooked potatoes, allowing the Parmesan to melt into a flavorful crust.
  4. Finish and Serve: When cooking is complete, uncover the crockpot and gently stir the ingredients to mix the melted Parmesan and butter coating. For added crispiness, place the chicken under a broiler for 3 to 5 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning. Serve the dish hot with optional garnishes.

Notes

  • Choose bone-in chicken thighs for better moisture and richer flavor.
  • Don’t skip the butter—it is key for creamy texture and flavor depth.
  • Use fresh garlic rather than garlic powder for the best aroma and taste.
  • Layer potatoes at the bottom to allow even cooking and absorption of flavors.
  • Broil the chicken briefly at the end for a crispier texture and caramelized cheese crust.
