Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes
Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes is a comforting dish featuring seared bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs cooked slowly with red potatoes, garlic, and herbs. The dish is finished with freshly grated Parmesan and parsley, providing a savory, slightly creamy flavor and tender texture. The slow cooker method ensures the chicken stays moist and the potatoes absorb the aromatic cooking juices.
