This delicious slow cooker garlic parmesan chicken and vegetables is an easy and healthy back to school recipe.
This week a toothache and strep throat sidelined two of the kids so it was a quiet week and weekend. With school starting tomorrow it's back to me making meals and breaking out of the slow cooker from it's retirement for the summer.
Since no one was feeling very good and my time was spent trying to get everyone ready for school this weekend on top of nursing a sick kid and prepping meals for the week Sunday dinner was going to be low maintenance.
I opted for peanut butter bars and this delicious slow cooker garlic parmesan chicken for Sunday dinner. I think it took all of 15 minutes to get everything ready.
This meal is definetely going to go on our Sunday rotation list. Full of delicious herbs, garlic and parmesan cheese! It's going to taste absolutely delicious for lunch tomorrow too!
For this recipe, I used our Hamilton Beach Set n' Forget Slow Cooker. This thing has made my life so much easier. The food never burns and if I get busy and can't get home right away, dinner is no fear of drying out. This has been my lifesaver slow cooker.
