Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 5 medium-sized potatoes, chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- 1 tsp paprika
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, approx. 1/2 cup)
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 until evenly seasoned.
- Layer Potatoes: Place the seasoned potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker, creating an even layer.
- Season Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning to ensure optimal flavor.
- Arrange 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 breasts to infuse the dish with aromatic flavor.
- Coat with Sauce: Pour enough Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce over the chicken to coat it thoroughly, enhancing the dish with a creamy, savory touch.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and potatoes are tender.
- Add Cheese: In the last 30 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top. Cover again to let the cheese melt beautifully.
- Serve: Once cooked, serve the dish warm, optionally garnished with extra Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs like parsley for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Feel free to substitute chicken thighs if you prefer a juicier, more flavorful cut.
- Adjust seasoning amounts to taste, especially salt and pepper.
- If you don’t have Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce, you can substitute with a mixture of garlic butter and grated Parmesan cheese.
- For a low-sodium version, reduce the salt or use low-sodium seasoning blends.
- Ensure the potatoes are cut uniformly to guarantee even cooking.
