Ingredients

1 lb chicken breasts
5 medium sized potatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika (for potatoes)
1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper
1 tsp each of paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning
2 tbsp minced garlic
Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce (just enough to cover chicken)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Potatoes

Wash and quarter the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated. Place them at the bottom of your crockpot to form a hearty base for the chicken.

Step 2: Season the Chicken

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. This helps build flavor before the sauce is added.

Step 3: Add Garlic and Sauce

Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the potatoes. Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the chicken. Pour Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce over the top, adding just enough to cover the chicken fully. The potatoes will soak up some of this creamy, garlicky sauce as they cook.

Step 4: Slow Cook

Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender and the potatoes are fork-soft.

Step 5: Add Cheese

About 10 minutes before serving, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken. Cover again until the cheese melts into a gooey layer of goodness.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Scoop generous portions of chicken and potatoes onto plates, making sure everyone gets some of the creamy garlic parmesan sauce from the bottom of the crockpot.

Pro Tips for Success

• Cut potatoes evenly so they cook at the same rate.
• Use chicken thighs if you prefer richer, juicier meat.
• If the sauce seems too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of chicken broth or cream halfway through cooking.
• For extra flavor, lightly sear the chicken before adding it to the crockpot.

Variations

• Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the garlic parmesan sauce.
• Veggie Boost: Mix in broccoli florets or green beans during the last hour of cooking.
• Low-Carb: Swap potatoes for cauliflower florets or zucchini.
• Cheese Lover’s Twist: Try adding provolone or parmesan along with mozzarella.

Pairings

This creamy crockpot chicken and potatoes pairs beautifully with:

• A crisp green salad with lemon vinaigrette
• Garlic bread or crusty rolls to soak up the sauce
• A light white wine such as Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay
• For dessert, try something simple like Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies or fresh fruit salad

Storage Instructions

• Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Freezer: Cool completely, then freeze portions in freezer-safe bags for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
• Reheating: Warm in the microwave or stovetop with a splash of cream or broth to keep the sauce creamy.
