Description

Crockpot Garlic Chicken and Potatoes is the kind of cozy, no-fuss dinner that practically cooks itself. Tender chicken breasts and baby potatoes slowly simmer in a fragrant garlic-herb broth, soaking up rich flavor and becoming melt-in-your-mouth delicious. It’s hearty, comforting, and perfect for busy days when you still want a home-cooked meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts, minced garlic, olive oil, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Toss well until the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  2. Place the sliced onion in an even layer on the bottom of the crockpot (slow cooker).
  3. Add the halved baby potatoes on top of the onions, spreading them out evenly.
  4. Lay the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the potatoes in a single layer.
  5. Pour the chicken broth evenly over the chicken and potatoes, making sure everything is nicely moistened.
  6. Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through (165°F / 74°C) and the potatoes are fork-tender.
  7. Once cooked, carefully transfer the chicken and potatoes to serving plates or a platter, spooning some of the flavorful cooking juices over the top.
  8. Garnish generously with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • For even cooking, choose chicken breasts that are similar in size and thickness.
  • If using low-sodium chicken broth, you may want to add a bit more salt at the end, after tasting the finished dish.
  • The potatoes will absorb flavor as they cook; cutting them into similar-sized halves ensures they become tender at the same time.
  • If you prefer a thicker, more gravy-like sauce, remove the chicken and potatoes at the end and simmer the juices on the stove with a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon water).
  • Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat nicely in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of extra broth.
