Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes
This Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potato dinner recipe is easy to make and delicious! Easy crockpot meals are a must for my busy family! I also have a similar air fryer/skillet recipe that everyone loves as well. Check out the Garlic Parmesan and Potato Skillet meal here!
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 5 medium sized potatoes
- olive oil + salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika (for potatoes)
- 1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper
- 1 tsp each of paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning
- 2 TBSP minced garlic
- Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce (just enough to cover chicken)
- 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
How To Make
First, to Make this easy Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potato crockpot meal start by getting out your crockpot and spraying it with cooking spray!
Then, scrub and rinse off about 5 medium sized potatoes. Chop the potatoes into small cubes. It is important to try to make sure the potatoes are all about the same size, so that they cook evenly in the crockpot.
Next, add 2 TBSP of olive oil to the potatoes and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. I don’t use exact measurements for this part.
After that, add 2 TBSP of minced garlic to the potatoes and give everything a good stir.
I like to cube up the chicken for this recipe, but you could also leave the chicken whole. Add the cubed chicken on top of the potatoes and season with salt, pepper, onion powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
Next, I add the Garlic Parmesan Sauce from Buffalo Wild Wings. Your favorite brand of Garlic Parmesan Sauce is fine too! I like to just add enough of the sauce to cover the chicken. You can always add more of the sauce after the meal is cooked if needed.
This is going to cook on low for about 6 hours or until the chicken reaches at least 165 degrees and the potatoes are tender.
Finally, once the potatoes are tender and the chicken is fully cooked I like to stir everything together and top it with some shredded mozzarella cheese. I let the crockpot meal sit for about 10-15 minutes until all the cheese is melted!
Now it’s time to eat! We served this with some green beans and added some ranch on top of the chicken and potatoes!
In conclusion, I hope you enjoy this Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potato meal as much as my family does! If you like this recipe, check out some of my other favorites that are similar!

Helpful Tips and Frequently Asked Questions
- Depending on the size of your potatoes, they may need additional time in the crockpot. All crockpots cook differently so adjust the cooking time as needed.
- Use freshly minced garlic or jarred minced garlic for this recipe.
- When seasoning your potatoes, I just eyeball this part. You may add as much as you would like.
- Grate a block of mozzarella yourself for a creamier melted cheese.
- Onions can be added to this dish for extra flavor and a bit of crunch.
- I like using the Buffalo Wild Wing’s brand Garlic Parmesan Sauce, but you can use your favorite or make a homemade version.
- For the sauce I only add enough to cover the chicken. The sauce has a little bit of a kick to it and adding too much could make this a spicy dish. You can always add more sauce later if needed.

We made this tonight! It was delicious! I’m a pretty decent cook, always looking for variety! I’m always making things that I think of tweaks to improve it. I felt this was perfect!
I added baby carrots and it turned out amazing.
Did you add them at the beginning or did you wait a few?
What about adding fresh green beans to the top of the chicken and cook the same time? Think the green beans would turn out good?
Anyone know how the fresh green beans turned out?
The last crock pot recipe I did with green beans had me add them and hour before it was done, 2 hours if you like them soft (: hope that helps!
I want to add fresh sliced mushrooms. When should I put the in the pot?
Can I make this with frozen chicken and just increase the time?
What can I substitute for the Buffalo hot sauce? Thanks
There is no hot sauce. It’s Buffalo Wild Wings brand sauce in the Parmesan garlic flavor.
There is no buffalo hot sauce called for in this recipe
Tip for sauce if our country does not sell Buffalo Wild Wing sauce? Love from Norway 🤪
Sweet baby Ray’s has garlic Parmesan sauce! That’s what I used!!
La salsa buffalo es fácil y sencilla de hacer solo buscar la receta en internet y ya
Soooo good & easy!
Can I cook this in oven or over stove top?
I’m trying it now. I’ll let you know. I pre cooked the potatoes some in the air fryer and chopped the chicken to hopefully cook faster. Added sauce and in the oven for 20-25min at 350
I cooked covered on stove top for about 35-40 min. Turned out great.
Do you know the macros for this dish please? Thanks
I did not pay attention to the just enough to cover the chicken and boy is it spicy garlic. If it doesnt look like enough trust the process because it’s sure is enough lol
I use the Kroger brand of this sauce because it’s less spicy than the BWW kind. It’s perfect for my family. Try other brands to see what works for you.
Making this right now. It reminds me of the beginning a deconstructed southwest potato skin I make.
I made a few additions and small tweaks. Seasoned my chicken in chipotle seasoning. Cooked everything the same. But at the end. I added. Frozen corn. Cooked crumbled bacon and cheddar cheese. After plated. Drizzled more garlic parm sauce and a sweet BBQ sauce on top. HEAVEN!!
Made this tonight, cubed the chicken along with dicing the potatoes. In my slow cooker it was done after 3 and a half hours. I added fresh baby spinach at the end to get in my greens. Will make again.
This is the first recipe I saw on Cooking in the Midwest Facebook page and first one I tried. One of my absolute favorite recipes Luke has ever posted. Thanks Luke for making this working momma of 4’s suppers easier with all your delicious recipes!
Could I cook it on high for 4 hours instead of 6?
Mine was done at 4 hours, on low.
Mine was definitely done after 4 hours. I served mine with cauliflower rice and drizzled some of the juices leftover in the crockpot over it. It was very yummy!
I cooked covered on the stove top. 35-40 min. Turned out great.
Very tasty. Used Praise parmesan and garlic sauce (Australia), and threw in half a tub of cream cheese to make it more saucy. Five hours on low would be better, as it started to catch on the pot
I made this today and it was very, very good! So easy and so yummy. I wondered if it would be enough sauce but it was perfect. The chicken was so tender and the flavor was just right. Thank you for a great recipe.
Glad to hear you liked it!
Has anyone left it in a crock pot longer than 6 hours? Wondering due to work schedule.
Yes. You’ll be fine as long as it’s on low. Does yours switch to warm after the set time?
Could this be done in the Instant Pot?
Can’t wait to make it! Do you use sweet or smoked paprika?
I’ve used both. Either will work with this recipe.
This was great. I used about a pound and a half of chicken and the whole bottle of sauce. Probably could have added fresh or frozen green beans to the crockpot, but I just served our veggies on the side. Will definitely make this again, and I bet it would be good with pork or beef as well.
So happy to hear you liked it!
