We have been grilling out a lot lately and I am constantly looking for easy sides to go with our favorite grilled chicken. This Crock Pot Parmesan Broccoli Cauliflower is perfect for those days. I can throw everything in the slow cooker for this yummy side and it can be cooking while I marinade my chicken. Then, when my chicken is done, a great side dish is ready for dinner at the same time! Recipes like this are one of the reasons I love making side dishes in my slow cooker. I love it when the crock pot can simplify my sides for me.

July 13, 2017 at 11:31 amI haven’t tested it, but you should be able to. I would probably add 1/4 cup of broth to the bottom of the crock before adding everything else and keep a close eye on it because cooking times may be different. Let me know how it goes!

July 12, 2017 at 9:08 pmSounds great, but can you use fresh onions?

July 13, 2017 at 11:29 amYep! I would just chop them pretty finely so they cook up as fast as the broccoli and cauliflower.
