Important Tip Before Starting
Parmesan is a hard cheese, so it doesn’t melt as smoothly as softer cheeses like cheddar or brie. For this recipe, Parmesan is used as a garnish rather than blended into the sauce. Be sure to grate it generously to finish the dish.
How to Make Slow Cooker Parmesan Garlic Chicken
1. Prep the Chicken:
Remove the chicken breasts from the packaging and pat them dry with a paper towel. Place them in the crockpot.
2. Mix the Sauce:
In a small bowl, combine the ranch seasoning with the cream of chicken soup. Pour the mixture over the chicken in the crockpot. Fill the empty soup can with water, then add it to the crockpot and stir everything together.
3. Add the Potatoes:
Roughly chop the potatoes, cleaning the skin if you choose not to peel them. Add the chopped potatoes to the crockpot.
4. Cook:
Set the slow cooker to high for 3 hours or low for 6–7 hours, until the chicken is tender and easy to shred.
5. Shred and Serve:
Shred the chicken directly in the crockpot and mix it with the sauce. Serve hot, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Be sure to drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the dish for extra flavor.
