Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by washing the baby potatoes and halving them. Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

Season the Chicken: Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) until evenly coated.

Place Ingredients in Crockpot: Layer the halved potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot. Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top.

Add Chicken Broth: Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring they are well coated.

Add Garlic and Cheese: Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the chicken. Then, add the grated parmesan cheese on top, making sure it covers the chicken nicely.

Cook the Mixture: Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

Check for Doneness: After the recommended cooking time, check if the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). The potatoes should be fork-tender.

Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove the chicken and potatoes gently from the crockpot. Spoon any remaining sauce over the top for extra flavor.

Garnish: If desired, chop fresh parsley and sprinkle over the dish for added color and flavor before serving.
