Discover a mouthwatering recipe for Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Chicken. Enjoy tender chicken infused with rich garlic and parmesan flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
4 to 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
½ cup of unsalted butter, melted
6 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup of grated parmesan cheese
½ cup of chicken broth
2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Begin by placing the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Make sure they are arranged evenly to ensure thorough cooking. You can season them with salt and pepper at this stage, creating a base layer of flavor.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, parmesan cheese, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning. This rich mixture is crucial for infusing flavor into the chicken. Pour this over the chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring it is fully coated.
Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook. Opt for high heat for a quicker result, or low heat if you have some time to spare. The beauty of this slow cooker garlic parmesan chicken lies in its ability to become even more flavorful the longer it cooks. The goal is to reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Once cooked, take the chicken out of the slow cooker and use two forks to shred it. This allows the chicken to absorb more of the flavorful sauce. Return the shredded pieces back into the slow cooker, stirring well to combine.
Finally, serve the garlic parmesan chicken over pasta, rice, or alongside a refreshing salad. Don't forget to sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley over the top for that extra burst of color and flavor!
