4.7 from 92 reviews

This Crockpot Parmesan Garlic Chicken is a comforting and flavorful slow-cooked dish featuring tender chicken infused with rich garlic and Parmesan cheese, perfect for an effortless weeknight dinner served over pasta or rice.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Garlic Parmesan Sauce

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Mince the garlic cloves finely to release their flavor, and grate the Parmesan cheese if not pre-grated. Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts.
  2. Combine Garlic and Butter: In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic with softened butter, ensuring the garlic is evenly distributed to form a flavorful base for the sauce.
  3. Assemble in Crockpot: Place the chicken breasts evenly at the bottom of the crockpot. Spread the garlic-butter mixture over each piece of chicken, then sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly on top. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste.
  4. Cook Until Tender: Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours or on high heat for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and tender.
  5. Serve: Once cooked, gently remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot and serve warm over your choice of cooked pasta or rice, spooning any melted garlic-Parmesan sauce from the crockpot over the top for extra flavor.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add fresh herbs like parsley or basil before serving.
  • Using fresh garlic instead of garlic powder enhances the aroma and taste.
  • To keep the chicken moist, avoid opening the crockpot frequently during cooking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
