Notes
Tips for the Best Irresistible Garlic Parmesan Crockpot Chicken: Always brown the chicken if you want a deeper flavor. Check the internal temperature of the chicken; it should reach 165°F for safe eating. Use a large crockpot so that the chicken and potatoes have enough space to cook properly. Consider chopping the potatoes in advance. Leftovers are great; just store them in an airtight container for easy reheating.
