Crock Pot Chicken and Potatoes is an easy chicken crock pot recipe served with herbed baby potatoes.

When you lift the crock pot lid the aroma of fresh herbs cooked with the chicken and potatoes will have you drooling.

Chicken and Potatoes is a very easy crock pot meal you can make for the family.

Ingredients

  • chicken: boneless breasts or thighs
  • potatoes: red baby potatoes
  • herbs and spices: fresh parsley, rosemary, minced garlic, salt and pepper
  • olive oil and butter

How to prep the potatoes

I used red baby potatoes and cut the larger potatoes in half so they would cook quicker. Whole potatoes take much longer to cook in the crock pot than boneless chicken does. Keep the potato pieces small so the potatoes and chicken will be done cooking at the same time.

If you have large whole potatoes cut them into small pieces before adding to the crock pot.

A bit of olive oil and melted butter help flavor the baby potatoes.

Crock Pot Herbed Potatoes

I love cooking with fresh herbs from my garden and have all of my favorite herbs growing in pots. If you don't have fresh herbs you can use dried herbs instead.

As the chicken and potatoes slow cook in the crock pot the fresh herbs also flavor the boneless chicken breasts.

Boneless Chicken Recipes

My family prefers boneless skinless chicken breasts so that is what I cook with most often.

You could use skinless or skin-on boneless chicken thighs instead.

Chicken thighs are more flavorful and if your family will eat dark chicken meat (mine will not) then feel free to use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts for this recipe.

Tips for this crock pot recipe

  • Use baby potatoes or cut full-size potatoes into small pieces.
  • Check the chicken after 2 hours to prevent overcooking.
  • If the chicken is finished before the potatoes remove the chicken from the crock pot and cover tightly to prevent it from drying out. Continue to cook the potatoes until they a fork-tender.
  • Dry herbs may be used in place of fresh herbs.
  • Brown the cooked chicken and herbed potatoes under a broiler for 5 minutes before serving.

Recipe Expert Tips

  • The length of cooking time will vary depending on the size of the potatoes and the size of the chicken pieces you are cooking in the crock pot.
  • I would not recommend cooking thin chicken breasts or chicken tender size cut pieces of boneless chicken. The small pieces of chicken will overcook long before the potatoes are cooked through.
  • If you must use small pieces of chicken cook the potatoes by themselves for 2 to 3 hours before adding the thin pieces of chicken to the crock pot. Then you must keep a close eye on the chicken. Boneless chicken cooks very quickly in a crock pot.
  • Use baby potatoes or cut full-size potatoes into small pieces.
    Check the chicken after 2 hours to prevent overcooking.
  • If the chicken is finished before the potatoes remove the chicken from the crock pot and cover tightly to prevent it from drying out. Continue to cook the potatoes until they a fork-tender.
  • Dry herbs may be used in place of fresh herbs.
  • Brown the cooked chicken and herbed potatoes under a broiler for 5 minutes before serving.
