Start by patting the chicken dry and cutting it into 2-inch chunks. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Scrub and chop the small potatoes into 1.5-inch pieces. Coat with remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper.
In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, chicken broth, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, onion powder, and optional red pepper flakes.

Pour sauce over chicken and potatoes, then sprinkle half of grated Parmesan on top.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, stirring halfway through if possible.
Check chicken for doneness (internal temp of 165°F) and ensure potatoes are fork-tender.
