Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 lb chicken breasts, cut into cubes
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Enough Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce to cover chicken (approx. 1/2 cup)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Potatoes
- 5 medium-sized potatoes, washed and cut into small cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Paprika, to taste
Additional
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- Cooking spray for crockpot
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into small cubes, ensuring even cooking. Set aside.
- Prepare the Crockpot: Spray the inside of the crockpot with cooking spray to prevent sticking and ease cleaning.
- Season the Potatoes: Place the cubed potatoes into the crockpot. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika according to your taste. Add minced garlic and stir well to evenly coat the potatoes with seasonings.
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into cubes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, and 1 teaspoon each of paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Toss to coat all pieces evenly.
- Add Garlic Parmesan Sauce: Toss the seasoned chicken cubes with enough Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce to cover them thoroughly. This will infuse the chicken with rich, savory flavors.
- Combine and Cook: Place the sauced chicken on top of the potatoes in the crockpot. Cover and cook on low heat for about 6 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is fully cooked through.
- Stir and Melt Cheese: Once cooked, stir everything gently to combine the flavors. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top and let it sit for a few minutes until the cheese melts beautifully.
- Serve: Serve hot, optionally topped with ranch dressing for added creaminess, and enjoy your hearty, flavorful garlic Parmesan chicken and potatoes!
Notes
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the chicken seasoning.
- You can swap mozzarella cheese for Parmesan or a blend of Italian cheeses for a slightly different flavor profile.
- Use any type of potatoes you prefer, but waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold hold their shape better in slow cooking.
- Cooking time may vary depending on crockpot size and temperature; check potatoes for doneness before serving.
- The Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce can be substituted with any garlic Parmesan sauce available or homemade sauce.
