Crock Pot Garlic Parmesan Chicken is a delicious meal made with chicken breasts that are seasoned, cooked and then topped with garlic Parmesan sauce!
AN EASY GARLIC PARMESAN CHICKEN RECIPE
For this Crock Pot Garlic Parmesan Chicken, I am going to cook the chicken while giving it added flavor as it cooks by using chicken broth and Italian seasoning. Then we top it off with a garlicky, buttery Parmesan topping. It really makes this dish absolutely amazing. It's so good served with egg noodles. The noodles soak up all that flavor from the garlic butter and cheese. A new family favorite!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Yes. Frozen chicken breasts are usually smaller than their fresh counter parts so you probably won't be able to fit as many in there. Also, you will have to adjust cooking time accordingly. Chicken is done when an internal temperature reaches 165F degrees.
If you aren't a fan of Parmesan cheese, you could certainly use shredded mozzarella cheese which is a bit more mild in flavor.
We eat this served over rice or egg noodles. Also, I usually serve this with some type of vegetable like green beans or broccoli and then some bread and butter or biscuits.

Notes
- Fresh chicken breasts can be used. You may not be able to cook as many since they are larger than frozen chicken breasts. Adjust cook time accordingly. Chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165F degrees.
- Mozzarella cheese can be substituted for the Parmesan cheese.
