Making Slow Cooker Chicken and Potatoes

Step 1: Prep the Ingredients

Peel and cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes and place them in the slow cooker. Add the olive oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. pepper, and the paprika, then stir to coat.

Next, season both sides of the chicken breasts with the remaining salt and pepper, then lay them on top of the potatoes.

Side Note: you can also cube the chicken first, but I recommend leaving them whole and shredding the chicken after they’ve been cooked. This way, the chicken will be juicier, which is why I slow cook in the first place.

Step 2: Mix the Sauce

In a medium bowl, mix together the water and Parmesan Garlic Sauce (found on the condiment isle between the ketchup and salad dressing). You can also use chicken stock in place of the water.

Pour the sauce over the ckicken.

Step 3: Cook Low and Slow

Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours, which is the preferred method, or HIGH for 3–4 hours; basically until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 4: Add the Cheese

During the last 20 minutes, sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top. Re-cover for the remainder of time, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Serve warm, garnished with fresh chopped parsley or extra Parmesan if desired.
