- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- Place the seasoned potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker evenly. This layer will act as a bed for the chicken.
- 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.
- Lay the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the potatoes in the slow cooker. Avoid overlapping them to ensure even cooking.
- Spread the 2 tablespoons of minced garlic evenly over the chicken, distributing it well for that aromatic flavor.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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.
