WHAT TYPE OF POTATOES TO USE

Waxy potatoes always work best for slow cooking because they hold their shape better than other forms of potatoes. Again, like most of my recipes, I encourage you to use the ingredients you have & like. Meaning, you can use your preferred potato whether it be a waxy potato like red or yellow, russet potato, sweet potato, etc. If you use non-waxy potatoes like russet or sweet potatoes, I suggest you cut them into larger chunks than you usually would. This will help them hold their shape during the cooking process and not turn mushy on you.

WHAT TYPE OF PARMESAN CHEESE TO USE

I used a combination of grated and shredded Parmesan.  How much Parmesan to use is debatable in my household. This too went through many trials and I finally settled on 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan mixed in  and the shredded Parmesan added the last few minutes of cook time. Don’t have shredded Parmesan? Use all grated. If you have shaved Parmesan, use that. You have some leeway here to make this recipe work for you.

WHAT TYPE OF GARLIC TO USE

Minced garlic is in almost every single recipe that I post. I go through garlic probably more than any other ingredient. Since I used full tbsp of garlic powder, I used a little less raw garlic than I normally would. If you like your food really garlicky, add an additional clove or two of minced garlic to the recipe.

SERVING & STORING GARLIC PARMESAN CHICKEN & POTATOES

When it comes to serving this easy slow cooker chicken recipe, the sky is the limit! I usually keep it simple with a side salad or some sort of green vegetables. Leftovers should be stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
