With just a handful of simple ingredients and almost no prep, you’ll have tender, juicy chicken infused with zesty Italian flavor. It’s the kind of cozy, dependable recipe families request again and again.

📝 Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 packet (or 1 cup) Italian dressing

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • Optional: ½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker
    Lightly spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray or drizzle a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.

  2. Add the Chicken
    Place the chicken breasts evenly in the bottom of the slow cooker. Try not to overlap them too much so they cook evenly.

  3. Season Generously
    Sprinkle the garlic powder, black pepper, and optional Italian seasoning evenly over the chicken breasts. Then sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top. This will create a rich, savory layer as it melts into the sauce.

  4. Pour the Italian Dressing
    Slowly pour the Italian dressing over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated. The dressing not only adds bold flavor but also helps keep the chicken moist and tender during cooking.

  5. Cook Low and Slow
    Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). The chicken should be fork-tender and easy to shred.

  6. Serve and Enjoy
    You can serve the chicken breasts whole with the flavorful juices spooned over the top, or shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker and mix it with the sauce for a pulled-style dish.
