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.
