1-First Steps: Prep Work: Start with mise en place to set yourself up for success. Wash and cube 5 medium potatoes evenly, then spray your crockpot with cooking spray. Measure out 2 tablespoons olive oil and seasonings like salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika for the potatoes. This quick 10 20 minutes of prep keeps things organized and helps avoid mistakes.

2-Building the Layers: Once prepped, add the potatoes to the crockpot and toss them with the olive oil and seasonings. Mix in 2 tablespoons minced garlic for extra flavor. Next, cube the 1 lb chicken breasts and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Place the seasoned chicken over the potatoes in the crockpot. Pour on just enough Garlic Parmesan Sauce to coat the chicken. Cover and cook on low for about 6 hours, or until the chicken hits 165°F and the potatoes are tender.

3-Finishing Touches: After cooking, stir everything together in the crockpot. Top with 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and let it sit for 10-15 minutes so the cheese melts. For a complete meal, serve with veggies like green beans. This step brings all the flavors together for a delicious result.
