How do I cook Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken & Potatoes to ensure everything is flavorful?

To achieve maximum flavor, season both the chicken and potatoes generously. Start by tossing the cubed potatoes with olive oil and your favorite spices—salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika work wonderfully. For the chicken, use a mix of paprika, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Don’t skimp on the Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce; it’s the star of the show! Letting everything cook together in the crockpot for about 6 hours on low ensures that the flavors meld beautifully.

How long does it take to cook chicken and potatoes in the crockpot on low?

Cooking on low typically takes about 6 hours. This slow cooking method allows the chicken to become tender and juicy while the potatoes get perfectly soft. If you’re in a rush, you could cook on high for 3-4 hours, but keep an eye on the potatoes as they can cook faster. Remember, crockpot times can vary slightly, so it’s always a good idea to check for doneness near the end of the cooking time.

How can I prevent the chicken from drying out in the slow cooker?

Keeping the chicken moist is all about the right seasoning and sufficient liquid. The Garlic Parmesan Sauce acts as a flavorful layer that helps lock in moisture. Cut chicken into cubes to ensure even cooking and avoid overcooking by setting the correct time. If you notice the chicken is starting to dry out, add a bit more sauce or a splash of chicken broth. The slow cooker environment typically retains moisture well, but these tips ensure your chicken stays juicy.

Do I need to add water to the crockpot for this recipe?

There’s no need to add water to this recipe. The moisture from the chicken, the sauce, and the vegetables are generally enough to create a juicy dish. Adding extra water could dilute the flavors. If you prefer a bit more sauce, rather than water, add extra Garlic Parmesan Sauce or a small amount of chicken broth to maintain the dish’s rich taste.
