Can I add the the juice from the chicken to the ingredients for flavor or not a good idea
Hi Jeanne ~ you’ll end up with a much thicker, more flavorful sauce if you drain the juices. Hope that helps! 🙂
Can you substitute the garlic cloves with pre minced garlic and if so how much would I need to use? Thank you!
Hi Gabby,
Absolutely, yes you can use pre minced garlic. If your jar of pre minced garlic doesn’t already indicate, you could try 1/4 tsp of pre minced garlic per clove of garlic. ~ hope this helps, Heidi
Can u use powder parmesan cheese instead. I don’t have the real parmesan cheese to grade nor do I have the money to buy that kind of cheese.
I actually compared the prices the last time I purchased parmesan and realized that the freshly grated in a jar is just out the same price as the stuff in the can. Literally a few pennies difference. I used to think I couldn’t afford the freshly grated but I actually can. Check it out. BTW, I shop mostly at Walmart.
I made it with the grated because I didn’t have the other and it was fabulous.
I got thin chicken so could i do ot for juat 2 hours or when I know thier done????
Hi Karen ~ yes… thin chicken breasts will work just fine! I’m not sure of the exact time, but you’ll definitely want to shorten the cook time. Just keep an eye on them to know when they’re done. ENJOY!
I used chicken tenders. They were finished in about half the time on low. Falling apart when I ate them.
do I melt the butter or soften it?
Hi Britnee, you will soften the butter. I recommend pulling it out of the fridge an hour or so before you start, depending on the temperature of your home. Hope this helps ~ Heidi
Any Mayo substitute? I don’t like it but everything else in the recipe sounds good.
If you cook frozen chicken in a crockpot, you risk cracking your pot. Ask me how I know. 😉
As to a mayo substitute, I wonder if plain Greek yogurt would do the trick?
I always cook my chicken from frozen but I always use the low temp. Wonder why you had a problem. Was your crockpot on high?
Can you cook the chicken if frozen? If so what temp and for how long? Thanks
If you cook frozen chicken in a crockpot, you risk cracking your pot. Ask me how I know.
And yet I cook frozen chicken in my crockpot about twice a week, have for years and have never had a problem. I cook it on low. Could that be the difference?
I cooked it on low too and had a nice crockpot (Kitchenaid). I loved that crock! I found out it would cost about $35 to replace the liner. It might have just been a fluke, or it might be the brand of pot. I don’t know. I wished I’d spent the $35 to get a new liner, rather than switching brands, because the crock burns everything even on low.

Can you cook this all together for 4-6 hours on low or is there a specific reason you cook the chicken first then add the parmesan/garlic sauce towards the end? Thanks!
Because the chicken is going to make tons of it’s on juice, you’ll want to drain it off before you add your sauce.
its***
Are you pouring water over the chicken when you cook it initially or is it by itself? Thanks!
Joseph, I just made this dish and I put the chicken right in the crock pot with no additional liquid. Due to the slow cooking, the chicken produces it’s own juices over the 3 hours! 😉
