How to Make Bacon Parmesan Chicken Dinner in a Slow Cooker
Cris here.
We just love it when readers and Crock Posse members (YouTube viewers) reach out to us with their tried and true recipes. As you may remember, Crock Posse member Donna G. recently shared her 3 Ingredient Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken and we just loved it, so I was eager to try another recipe she sent me: Crock Pot Bacon Parmesan Chicken Dinner. Donna is a fellow low carber. She thought I might enjoy her low carb adaptation to a slow cooker recipe she had tried. I LOVED it. And, not only did I love it, but Mikey and Miss Add also loved it… so I knew I HAD to share it with all of you. And, like all of our Crock Pot Low Carb recipes, you do NOT have to be eating low carb to love this recipe. It is just plain and simple good eating.
How to Make Crock Pot Bacon Parmesan Chicken Dinner (Low Carb)
All you need to do to make this recipe is throw your chicken in a slow cooker, season well and top with bacon, butter and parm. Cook on low for 3-4 hours and then toss your veggies on top (fresh asparagus or green beans) and cook until veggies are tender, usually another couple hours. I just love how versatile this recipe can be! Donna likes to switch out her veggies depending on what she wants to eat that night and that tiny switch makes a completely different meal.

I made this the other night. It was very flavorful, but the cheese did not melt very well at all, and there was a LOT of buttery juice in the pot that was quite a waste.
Thanks to Crock Posse member Donna G for sharing this recipe. Sounds delicious!! When I first looked at the picture I thought there was pasta in it then realized after reading the recipe, it was shredded Parmesan cheese. LOL. As always, love you Cris, Mikey, Miss Add and Aunt Lou too. Love to the Crock Posse ❤
Thanks for always taking the time to leave such thoughtful notes, Kim! We so appreciate it! Hope you get a chance to try this yummy dish– with or without pasta ;)– just don’t leave out the cheese!
Can butter be cut in half or less? TIA! This recipe looks amazing!
Hi Therese-
You can leave it out entirely if you would like. It does add flavor, but if you are wanting to cut down on the fat, that is one easy way to do so. Hope that helps!
