Steps to Crockpot Bliss

Wash and cube those potatoes—skins on or off, your call.
Spray your crockpot with non-stick spray. Toss in the potatoes, drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir to coat.

Cube your chicken and season with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix in that glorious minced garlic.
Add the seasoned chicken to the crockpot over the potatoes. Pour enough Garlic Parmesan sauce to coat it all generously.

Cover and cook on low for 6 hours. Stir it now and then if you can.
Once everything’s tender and cooked, sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the top. Let it melt for a cheesy finish.
Optional but delish: Drizzle with ranch dressing before serving.

Tips for Tender Chicken and Perfect Potatoes

Use Yukon Gold or red potatoes—they hold their shape and soak up flavor beautifully.

Don’t skip the garlic powder on the potatoes. It adds a lovely base layer of flavor.
If your chicken is on the dry side after cooking, a splash of broth or extra sauce stirred in can help.
Want it crispier? Broil portions on a baking sheet for a few minutes after cooking.
