# Detailed Preparation Steps:
01 -
Mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and thyme. Spread this mix all over the chicken breasts.
02 -
Warm up olive oil in a pan on medium-high heat. Cook chicken breasts 2 to 3 minutes per side until they're golden. Take them off the heat and set aside.
03 -
Using the same pan, cook the minced garlic for a minute or two until you smell it.
04 -
Place the potato halves inside the slow cooker. Give them a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
05 -
Put the browned chicken pieces on top of the potatoes in the slow cooker.
06 -
Pour the chicken broth over everything. Then sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top.
07 -
Cover it and cook on low for about 6 to 7 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours. The chicken should be cooked through and the potatoes soft.
08 -
Half an hour before it's done, add fresh spinach to the slow cooker so it gets soft.
09 -
Top the meal with chopped parsley. Serve it warm and you can put lemon wedges on the side if you like.
# Helpful Tips:
01 -
Browning the chicken gives it better taste and keeps it juicy. Cook times might change based on your slow cooker model. For a creamier sauce, stir in some butter or cream cheese at the end.
02 -
You can swap the spinach for kale or broccoli if you want something different.
