- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced

- Pour the garlic parmesan mixture evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
- Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Stir gently to coat everything in the sauce.
- Garnish with additional parmesan cheese and fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Use baby gold or red potatoes for best texture and flavor.Grated parmesan melts best for a smooth, creamy sauce.Add vegetables like broccoli or green beans in the last hour of cooking.If sauce thickens too much when reheating, add a splash of milk or broth.Use thawed chicken to ensure safe and even cooking in the slow cooker.
