Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Chicken is a creamy, savory comfort dish made with tender chicken slow-cooked in a rich garlic-Parmesan sauce. It’s easy, flavorful, and great over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
🍗 What It Is
Boneless chicken breasts or thighs cooked low and slow in a sauce typically made from:
- Garlic (fresh or minced)
- Butter
- Cream or cream cheese
- Chicken broth
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Italian seasoning
- Salt & pepper
The result is juicy chicken coated in a thick, cheesy garlic sauce.
