Buffalo Parmesan Garlic Sauce

Alice writes: “Awesome buffalo garlic parmesan chicken recipe. I only used half the sauce and am freezing the rest. This is a great combo for batch cooking. I will double the chicken next time and freeze it in meal size portions.”

Garlic Parmesan Pork Chops

Instead of chicken, you’ll need:

  • 1.5 lbs. Boneless Center Cut Pork Loin Chops
  • 10.5 ounces Chicken Broth

And for the sauce, you’ll need:

  • 1/2 cup Butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup real Mayonnaise
  • 6 Garlic Cloves, finely minced
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon Oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon Basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh squeezed Lemon Juice
  • pinch of Salt
  1. Pour can of chicken broth into bottom of crock pot, place pork chops in crock pot, and cook on LOW for 3 1/2 hours, covered.
  2. After 3 1/2 hours, drain and discard juices from crock pot, mix up your garlic parmesan sauce, pour over chops, and cook on LOW for 30 more minutes, or until done.

Laura writes: “I adapted this recipe for a 3.5lb pork roast in the crockpot. I cut the roast in half lengthwise so it would cook faster, and cooked the two halves for 6 hours on low. Then I added all the creamy deliciousness the last half hour. Absolutely mouth-watering!”

  1. Laura says:

    Hello! Husband asks for this time and time again it’s so good. Anyone doing keto that could give me a breakdown of nutrition facts for it? In my app I put in the recipe but it’s breaking it down to one serving having 80g of protein 85g of fat – that’s more protein than I’m allowed for all day for one chicken breast of this recipe- so I must be doing something wrong!

  2. Melody says:

    I made this last night. I cooked my chicken (tenders because that was all I had) with a packet of Knorr’s vegetable recipe mix that I needed to use. My garlic cloves were HUGE so I only used four and decided to be lazy and use the garlic press. I used Duke’s mayo and got a block of parmesan and used the cheese grater.

    I could drink that sauce. It was so good! I served it with green beans and mashed potatoes. The leftovers today for lunch were just as yummy! This is definitely a keeper for a rich, special dinner. Though I think next time I might half the amount of butter just to lighten it up a bit.

    Thank you so much!

    1. Heidi Miller says:

      You’re very welcome… I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

  3. Cheryl Dunkin says:

    This was wonderful! I thought I was mincing garlic forever but it wasn’t too much. Everyone loved it. It will be a repeat at this house. Very rich but amazing!

    1. Heidi Miller says:

      Fantastic… I’m so glad everyone loved it! 🙂

  4. Taylor says:

    Made this but not entirely true to its ingredients dur to lack of and WOW it was so good. My fiancé was raving. So, I did 4 chicken thighs on high 3 hours mixed 1/2 cup Mayo, lemon juice, parsley & basil, only 1/4 cup butter, 2 TBSP garlic, Parmesan AND mozzarella true to your heart, and I topped it with seasoned Panko. YUM!!!

    1. Heidi says:

      Oh I’m so glad you loved it, Taylor… and the seasoned panko sounds like a delicious addition!

  5. Christie says:

    This sounds so easy and really delicious! i’m going to bookmark this one to try! Because I love the flavour profile and that you used some mayo!

    1. Heidi says:

      Aww… thanks, Christie! I think you will LOVE it… it’s rich, decadent, and deliciously dreamy comfort food! 🙂

  6. Julie says:

    So, I just put the chicken only in the crockpot for 6 hours and none of the other ingredients until after that time? Should I spray my crockpot with nonstick spray?
    Thanks!

    1. Heidi says:

      Hi Julie ~ that’s correct. You’ll first just cook the chicken separately… and no nonstick spray is necessary, as the chicken will end up cooking in the juices it releases. Later, after you drain the juices, you’ll add the sauce. This will ensure a thicker, more flavorful sauce for your chicken. Hope that helps! 🙂

      1. Julie says:

        Thanks!

        1. Heidi says:

          You’re very welcome… enjoy! 🙂
