Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breasts
  • 5 medium-sized potatoes, chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic powder
  • Paprika (to season potatoes)
  • 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

Instructions

  1. Wash and chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking. You want them to be about 1-2 inches. Set them aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss the chopped potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon paprika. The potatoes should be well-coated but not swimming in oil.
  3. Place the seasoned potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker evenly. This layer will act as a bed for the chicken.
  4. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. You want to ensure each piece is covered in spices for maximum flavor.
  5. Lay the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the potatoes in the slow cooker. Avoid overlapping them to ensure even cooking.
  6. Spread the 2 tablespoons of minced garlic evenly over the chicken, distributing it well for that aromatic flavor.
  7. Pour enough Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce over the chicken to coat it completely. Aim for about 1 cup, but adjust according to your taste preference.
  8. Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be cooked through and the potatoes tender. Avoid lifting the lid to check too often, as it lets heat escape.
  9. In the last 30 minutes of cooking, sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the chicken and cover again. The cheese should melt beautifully and create a gooey topping.
  10. Once cooked, serve warm, garnished with additional Parmesan or fresh herbs if desired. The dish should be bubbly and aromatic, with a golden crust on the cheese.

Nutrition

Keywords: A common mistake is overcooking the chicken. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165°F; this ensures perfectly juicy chicken. For a deeper flavor, try searing the chicken breasts in a skillet before placing them in the slow cooker.
