½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated fresh
¼ cup unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth

Lightly oil the slow cooker insert. Layer potatoes in the bottom and season.

Place chicken over the potatoes. Add garlic, butter pieces, and herbs.
Pour broth around the sides. Sprinkle in half of the Parmesan.
