Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 5 medium-sized potatoes, cut into chunks
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika (for potatoes)
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• ½ tsp paprika (for chicken)
• 2 tbsp minced garlic
• Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce (enough to coat the chicken)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Ingredient Notes

1. Chicken Breasts: Use boneless and skinless for easy cooking. You can swap with chicken thighs for juicier results.

2. Potatoes: Yukon Gold or baby potatoes hold their shape and absorb the sauce beautifully.

3. Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce: This gives the dish its signature flavor — creamy, garlicky, and slightly tangy.

4. Mozzarella Cheese: Adds a gooey, melty texture that blends perfectly with the sauce.

5. Olive Oil & Seasoning: A light toss of oil, garlic powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning gives the potatoes that perfect roasted flavor.

Direction

1. Prep the Potatoes:

Cut the potatoes into chunks. In a bowl, toss them with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly in the bottom of your crockpot.

2 Season the Chicken:

Rub the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.

3. Add Garlic and Sauce:

Place the seasoned chicken on top of the potatoes. Add minced garlic and pour Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce over the top until the chicken is nicely coated.

4. Slow Cook:

Cover and cook on Low for 6 hours or High for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and the potatoes are soft.

5. Add Cheese:

About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the top. Cover again until the cheese melts and becomes creamy.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

Gently stir to combine everything and serve warm. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.

What Makes Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken And Potatoes So Flavorful Compared To Oven-Baked Versions?

The slow cooker allows the chicken and potatoes to cook gently, soaking up the garlic parmesan sauce over several hours.

That long cooking time deepens the flavor and keeps the chicken juicy. Oven versions cook faster, but they can’t match that same creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Can I Use Chicken Thighs Instead Of Chicken Breasts In This Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken And Potatoes Recipe?

Yes, absolutely! Chicken thighs work great here because they stay tender and flavorful. They’re a bit richer, so if you love a juicier bite, thighs are the way to go.

How Can I Make Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken And Potatoes Extra Creamy Without Adding Heavy Cream?

If you want it extra creamy, stir in a little cream cheese or Greek yogurt at the end of cooking. It adds creaminess without making the dish too heavy.

Helpful Tips

◈  Add Veggies: Toss in green beans, carrots, or broccoli during the last hour for a full meal.

◈  Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or mix in a bit of buffalo sauce.

◈  Cheese Options: Parmesan, provolone, or even white cheddar can be swapped for mozzarella.

◈  Make-Ahead Tip: You can prep everything in the morning, refrigerate the crockpot insert, and start cooking later.

◈  Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stove with a splash of milk to keep it creamy.
