Hello everyone. Today we are going to
work on something that is viral out
there and it is garlic parmesan crockot
chicken and potatoes. It's a really
creamy, delicious, cheesy dish full of
flavor. I've made something similar to
this back in the day and we're going to
kind of make this more of a homemade
version. What they use right now in the
viral videos are the jars of garlic
parmesan dressing. Now, it's very salty.
Okay, so I'm going to be recreating the
homemade version of that jarred sauce
and it's really easy. And we are going
to be using the crock pot today. And I
am going to be searing the chicken
because for one, the chicken is kind of
a bland color and so are the potatoes
and everything going into it. So as we
sear the chicken,
it's going to give it a nice deep golden
brown color. That's what we're looking
for. It doesn't take very long to sear
your chicken and then it's going to lock
in some of the seasonings that we're
going to put on the chicken and help
flavor this dish. All right, you guys. I
saw this recipe and I'm like, we can
make it better. And we are. So, here we
go. So, I've got four boneless, skinless
chicken breast on my cutting board here.
And I've just sliced them. And I'm going
to cut them into bite-sized pieces. But
we're gonna go already have it cut up
into the bite-sized pieces. That way,
it's golden brown on all sides. Now, you
can just throw it in the crock pot and
do that if you want, but really, come
on, you guys. Lock in that flavor and
lock in the color to this dish.
Okay, we have all four boneless,
skinless chicken breast diced up into
bite-sized pieces. Let's season it up.
Salt.
What's great about this dish is you can
control the amount of salt going into it
because in that bottled dressing, it's
loaded.
Black pepper,
garlic powder,
onion powder,
smoked paprika. That'll give it a nice
color. We're going to take some tongs
and mix this all together.
We're going to be seasoning another
layer. So, this was enough seasoning for
the chicken right now. Now, in a long
skillet, I'm going to place in about
one to two tablespoons of some cooking
oil. Just going across the top here. I'm
using some olive oil.
We're going to heat that up until it's
nice and hot over a medium high heat.
Then we're going to add in the chicken.
All right, I've tested the oil. It's
nice and hot.
Oh, I hear that sizzle.
We're going to try to get one layer
here. Now, I got a lot of chicken going
on here. Wanted to get it all cooked up.
Now, we're just looking to give it a
nice golden brown color on all sides of
the chicken. We're not looking to cook
it through, make it nice and tender. All
right. Just give it some nice crisp
edges to it and some color. While our
chicken is browning up, I'm going to go
ahead and cut up the potatoes. I'm using
gold potatoes. They're pretty big, but
you can use the fingerlings or you can
use the Yukon gold baby potatoes if you
want to do that. You just want to make
sure that they're about bite-sized
pieces when we get them cut.
Going to take these. I'm just going to
cut them long ways.
Cut this one long ways. Just depends on
the size of your potatoes.
And we'll cut them like that.
I'm leaving the skins on so they hold
their shape and they don't become mush.
But that's what we're looking for right
here. Look at the color of this chicken.
We're going to add this to the bottom of
our crock pot. Now, I've sprayed it with
some non-stick cooking spray.
All right. You know what I'm going to do
now? sear the potatoes. All right, we're
going to crisp these up. I'm going to
put them in my pan. Wait until it gets
nice and hot. We'll add a little bit of
oil, some more of the seasonings. I'm
going to put enough in there to where it
covers the bottom of our skillet here.
That looks good right there. And all
we're going to do is give it a nice
crisp edges to it and lock in some
flavor. Also, some oil to help with
that.
Salt. Garlic powder. We're just going to
mimic the same flavors. onion powder,
smoked paprika.
I'm going to turn my heat up to high so
I can get these potatoes nice and crisp.
We're not cooking them all the way
through. Let's get that pepper in there.
All right, let's add our potatoes to the
chicken in the crock pot.
Woo! Look at those. Yum. Get all those
flavors out of there. Now we got to get
the creaminess going on. All right. I'm
just grating up some Parmesan cheese.
About half a cup.
There we go.
We're going to add that to a medium
bowl. We're going to add in half a cup
of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Four teaspoon of minced garlic. This is
a parmesan
garlic recipe. We're going to get that
garlic in there. We're going to add one
cup of chicken broth.
Half a cup of milk, cracked black
pepper.
Get it in there.
You're definitely going to mimic that
Buffalo Wild Wings Parmesan Garlic
sauce. We're making our own so that we
can control everything that goes in it.
And it's nice and fresh. Look at that.
I'm not adding any salt because parmesan
salty enough. There we go. Once we get
that all combined, we're going to pour
that into the crock pot. I'm going to
give that a taste.
M. That's good.
Let's pour this on top of our potatoes
and chicken in the crock pot.
I'm just going to kind of make sure the
mixture gets on everything
because we're not going to mix this in.
We're going to kind of let it melt on
in.
Just like that. Woo. Doesn't that look
better?
Mhm. All right, you guys. We're going to
place a lid on the crock pot and we are
going to cook this on high for 3 to four
hours. You want to make sure the
potatoes are nice and tender and that
chicken is nice and tender and cooked
through. If you want to cook this on
low, it'll take about 6 to 8 hours. And
the same thing, just check for the
tenderness of your chicken and potatoes.
I'll be back. We're going to finish this
off. I'm going to give this a try for
you. All right, you guys. 3 hours. That
chicken is tender. Those potatoes are
nice and soft. And they're tender also.
It smells amazing in there. What I'm
going to do,
we're going to add about 1/4 cup to a
half a cup of shredded Parmesan cheese
across the top.
And then we're going to put mozzarella
cheese, about the same amount, across
the top.
Oh yeah, just put it all in there. I'm
going to top it with some fresh chopped
parsley.
We're going to put a lid on. We're just
going to let that cheese melt.
All right, you guys. Look at that. Oh,
does that look good? We're going to dive
in. You can make this a full-blown meal
by adding spinach to it and let it
soften down in there. Oh, look at that.
All right, now you guys quit drooling.
>> Sorry.
>> Oh, that was my husband. Okay. All
right. All right, I'm going to grab a
fork and give this a try for you.
There's my bite.
It's like butter.
Those flavors are so good.
I taste that garlic in here.
We put enough in there.
Mhm.
That is delicious, you guys. I hope you
make it. This is better than if you use
that Buffalo Wild Wings garlic and
Parmesan dressing that everyone is using
right now and is going viral. So, I'm
showing you how to make it homemade
without using that jar that's full of we
don't know, right? Make your own. Make
it fresh. Make it delicious. All right,
