Why this parmesan chicken recipe works

I always see slow cooking a meal as a major perk. Not only does it prevent you from having to stand over a stove but it can also make things taste better. While the slow cooker cooks up this parmesan chicken dinner, you can tackle getting a few things done.

This one-pot, dump-and-go meal is definitely something to consider making for dinner tonight!

Recipe Ingredients

  • Chicken Breasts: Boneless skinless chicken breast is the way to go with this recipe. The crock pot will cook them to fork tender and marinate the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Red Potatoes: These potatoes hold up extremely well when being cooked in the slow cooker. They won’t become too mushy and will often hold their shape.
  • Green Beans: Not only does this vegetable add flavor, but it also adds an additional side cooked along with the chicken and potatoes.
  • Seasonings: Italian seasoning, fresh garlic, garlic powder, kosher salt, and pepper create the perfect garlic parmesan sauce.
  • Olive Oil: You’ll coat the bottom of the crock pot with it to keep the chicken from sticking.
  • Parmesan Cheese: Added at end of cooking time to create the best-tasting garlic parmesan chicken.

Step-by-Step Directions

Step One – Place raw chicken, potatoes, green beans, minced garlic, and all other seasonings into a slow cooker that has been sprayed with non stick spray.

Step Two – Toss all of the ingredients together to mix and ensure seasoning gets on everything.

Step Three – Cover and cook on LOW for 5-6 hours or on HIGH for about 4 hours. Make sure the chicken is cooked through.

Step Four – At the end of the cooking time, add one cup the shredded parmesan cheese.

Step Five – Stir the fresh parmesan into the cooked chicken meal.

Step Six – Sprinkle with the remaining parmesan cheese. Cover and cook for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Serve and enjoy!

Recipe FAQs and Variations

Can I use boneless skinless chicken thighs in this recipe?

Yes! They will taste just as amazing as using chicken breasts. You can also use chicken legs!

How can I make this slow cooker recipe more hearty?

Add cooked pasta directly to the meal, underneath as a bed, or as a side item.

How do I store leftover crock pot garlic parmesan chicken?

Pour any leftovers into an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 4 days.

If I don’t have red potatoes, what can I use instead?

Russet potatoes, Yukon golds, or white potatoes can be used and will still work great in this recipe.

Can I use frozen chicken in this chicken dinner recipe?

I don’t recommend putting frozen chicken into the slow cooker. Allow it to defrost, then add chicken into the slow cooker.

      4 stars
      I made this today for my family and it was delicious! My kids approved so I will definitely be making this again. My picky 7 year old said she gives it 50 thumbs up! Super easy dinner to throw together. Love making dinners that require minimal effort AND that my family enjoys. The reason I only gave this 4 stars is because I found the recipe to be just a tiny bit confusing in regards to the olive oil. It states under the ingredients that it is for coating the bottom of the crock. However, under the step by step, it says to place chicken, potatoes, green beans and seasonings (no mention of oil) in a slow cooker that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Then under the actual recipe, it says to spray the slow cooker with non stick spray or rub down with oil. But then there is no other mention of the oil in the directions. It just says for step 3, add all the remaining ingredients. Does that include the olive oil? I’m sorry, I may be overthinking it a bit. It was just a little bit confusing to me. I ended up coating the bottom with some of the oil and drizzling the rest over everything before I tossed it all together. It turned out really good! But like I said, the recipe could’ve been a little more descriptive.

      Why leave the chicken in 1 1/2 in strips when everything else is bite sized? Cube your chicken, but quarter your potatoes – cubed potatoes turned to mush. Next time I’ll add the potatoes at the halfway point.
      3 Tsp of Italian seasoning is overkill. Dial that back and add some other herbs, maybe some lemon pepper ( the one I use also has garlic, another consideration)? Same with the diced garlic/ garlic powder. Recipe was pretty one note.
      Fresh beans don’t need 6 hours in the crock pot. I used frozen beans and added them with the Parm. 15 minutes at the end and they were just fine for serving.

        Thanks for your tips. I prefer my green beans extremely soft; that’s why I add them at the beginning.
