FAQ

Can I use frozen chicken in these recipes?

Yes, you can! Just add an extra hour to the cooking time. I usually prefer thawed chicken for even cooking, but frozen works fine in the crockpot.

What type of chicken works best — breasts or thighs?

Both work great! Boneless, skinless chicken breasts make it lean and light, while chicken thighs give it a richer, juicier texture.

How can I make the sauce thicker?

If you like a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes to let it reduce, or stir in a little cornstarch slurry or extra Parmesan cheese.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Yes! Swap the cream with coconut milk and use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan for a creamy, dairy-free version that’s still flavorful.

What should I serve Garlic Parmesan Chicken with?

It’s amazing with pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, or even roasted vegetables. For a low-carb meal, try it with zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.

How long does it last in the fridge?

You can store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave with a splash of milk or broth.
