Easy Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Chicken And Potatoes
This slow cooker recipe makes dinner so easy. Just set it and forget it for a delicious, tender garlic parmesan chicken and potato meal.
Key Ingredients & Tips for Crockpot Chicken
- Chicken Thighs: They stay very moist and tender in the slow cooker. You can use chicken breasts, but thighs usually add more flavor to the dish.
- Fresh Garlic: Use fresh garlic for the best, brightest taste. Minced garlic from a jar works just fine if you’re in a hurry.
- Parmesan Cheese: This adds a salty, cheesy finish. Add it in the last few minutes of cooking, or right before serving, so it melts smoothly.
