Ingredients Needed

When it comes to simplicity and satisfying flavors, few dishes rival the timeless appeal of this slow cooker chicken and potato recipe. In this section, we will share the ingredients that are needed and what they do to make this delicious recipe. Along with any substations that can be altered to make this recipe your own.

• boneless skinless chicken breast is the main protein for this dish. Boneless chicken thighs will work as a juicer and a more flavorful option. I like to cut the boneless skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes but you could just add the whole chicken breast and shred it once it's fully cooked.
• small potatoes bring substance to the casserole. Red potatoes, Yukon gold potatoes, baby potatoes, or sweet potatoes would all work. Or cauliflower florets could be used instead of the potatoes. Cut these into bite-sized cubes as well.
• black pepper enhances the overall flavor profile.
• garlic powder adds a savory flavor, garlic salt would also work.
• onion powder enhances the savory flavor onion salt could be used.
• paprika provides a subtle smoky flavor and adds a dash of color to the dish. Of course, this is optional and doesn't have to be added.
• Italian Seasoning helps to enhance the overall flavor profile as well. We have a great homemade Italian seasoning recipe that goes perfectly in this casserole.
• minced garlic brings that fresh garlic flavor and aroma.
• garlic parmesan sauce provides a creamy, robust, and cheesy flavor to the casserole.
• mozzarella cheese adds richness, creaminess, and gooey texture. Cheddar cheese or Provolone cheese would also work in this slow cooker recipe.

How To Make This Casserole

This slow cooker chicken and potato casserole is an easy recipe to make and is sure to be a hit with your entire family. Start by spraying the inner crock of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray, you could use crockpot liners as well.

Cut the raw chicken breast and potatoes into bite-sized chunks and add to the crockpot. Season with the seasoning str these simple ingredients together to coat the chicken and potatoes with the seasonings. Then add in the garlic parmesan sauce, again coating all the ingredients together.

Place the lid on the slow cooker and set for 6 hours on low. Once the cook time is up stir everything together. Then sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top of the potatoes and chicken mixture. Then place the slow cooker lid back on and allow to sit for a few minutes so the cheese can melt. Serve with side dishes like baby carrots, green beans, or a side salad, and enjoy.

Helpful Tips And Tricks

In this section, you will find a collection of useful tips and tricks to help make making this recipe simple.

Depending on the size of your potatoes, they may need additional cooking time in the crockpot. I like using small or baby potatoes when making this recipe, I still slice them in half. You can use whatever potatoes you have on hand.

Since all crackpots cook differently just like ovens. You may need to adjust the cooking time according to yours. You want to make sure the chicken is fully cooked and the potatoes are fork tender.

When it comes to the seasonings used, I did use exact measurements. But you can always eyeball it to adjust to your taste preference. Try adding in some of your favorite seasonings as well. Adding in some fresh sliced onions, green onions, or even some bell peppers for added flavor would make this crock pot chicken recipe even better.

When it comes to the parmesan cheese sauce I used Buffalo Wild Wings. You can use your favorite or make a homemade version. You can also adjust the amount of sauce used to your liking.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days or store in the freezer for up to 3 months. This potato casserole recipe can be made in the Instant Pot for about 8-10 minutes or until the chicken is tender.
