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 the chicken)
Potatoes
- 5 medium-sized potatoes, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika (for seasoning potatoes; approximately 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp paprika)
Topping
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to evenly coat.
- Layer Potatoes: Place the seasoned potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker, creating an even layer for the chicken.
- Season Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning to infuse flavor before cooking.
- Place Chicken: Lay the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the potatoes in the slow cooker.
- Add Garlic: Spread the minced garlic evenly over the chicken to enhance the aroma and taste.
- Coat with Sauce: Pour enough Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce over the chicken to coat it thoroughly for a rich, savory flavor.
- Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
- Add Cheese: In the last 30 minutes of cooking, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top, cover, and allow it to melt completely.
- Serve: Serve the dish warm, optionally garnished with extra Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs like parsley for added flavor and visual appeal.
Notes
- Using Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce adds authentic flavor, but you can substitute with any garlic parmesan sauce or homemade version.
- Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to confirm it’s fully cooked.
- For crispier edges, you can broil the dish for 2-3 minutes after cooking before adding cheese.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated within 3 days.
- Potato size can be adjusted; smaller pieces cook faster but may become mushy.
