Notes
Recipe Tips
- Chicken thighs - You can easily substitute other cuts of chicken for chicken thighs. We like chicken breast and chicken tenders for another great meal idea. If you use chicken breast, keep in mind they might not take as long to cook. You can use skinless or skin on chicken thighs.
- Mushrooms. You can add 8 oz of sliced fresh mushrooms on top of the chicken in the crock pot. This adds even more delicious flavor if you like mushrooms.
- Make it spicy. If you like dishes with a little heat, add a ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes.
- Add Other Vegetables - You can easily roast carrots in the crock pot or add other vegetables to the baking sheet.
- Garlic Parmesan Sauce - Cooking the chicken in the crock pot may result in a sauce. With the garlic parmesan seasoning that is added to the chicken, this sauce is very flavorful. I would try to save it to drizzle over your chicken and vegetables.
- Breadcrumb Mixture - If you like you chicken to have a crispy texture, use a breadcrumb mixture with the seasoning. Coat chicken in a shallow bowl to make sure all of it is covered.
- Fried Chicken - This seasoning would be amazing on a fried chicken.
