Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 1 lb chicken breasts
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce (enough to coat chicken)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Potatoes
- 5 medium-sized potatoes, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika (to season potatoes; about 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp paprika recommended)
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes: Wash and chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
- Layer the potatoes in the slow cooker: Place the seasoned potatoes evenly on the bottom of the slow cooker to create a base for the chicken.
- Season the chicken: Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning on both sides for maximum flavor.
- Arrange the chicken: Lay the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the potatoes within the slow cooker.
- Add garlic: Spread the minced garlic evenly over the chicken breasts to infuse the dish with a robust garlic flavor.
- Apply the sauce: Pour enough Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce over the chicken to coat it thoroughly, ensuring all pieces are covered.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, allowing the chicken to cook through and the potatoes to become tender.
- Add cheese: About 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top. Cover again and let the cheese melt.
- Serve: Serve the chicken and potatoes warm, optionally garnished with extra Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs like parsley for extra brightness.
Notes
- For best results, use medium to small potatoes to ensure even cooking.
- You can substitute Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce with homemade garlic parmesan sauce or your preferred brand.
- If you prefer less sauce, reduce the amount slightly, but keep enough for good coverage and flavor.
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for even cooking; adjust time if using thighs or bone-in pieces.
- Feel free to add chopped fresh herbs like parsley or basil at serving for a fresh finish.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on slow cooker model and size; check chicken internal temperature to be at least 165°F (75°C) for safety.
