Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing and halving the baby potatoes, then place them into your slow cooker.
  2. Drizzle the halved potatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle over paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the potatoes.
  3. In a separate bowl, toss the cubed chicken breasts (or thighs) with the garlic parmesan sauce until well-coated, then add to the slow cooker.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low for 6 hours or High for 3 hours.
  5. About 20 minutes before serving, introduce the broccoli florets to the slow cooker and stir gently.
  6. In the final 5 minutes of cooking, sprinkle mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese over the top and cover to let the cheese melt.
  7. Remove the lid and serve warm, pairing with crusty bread or a side salad.
