Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?

Absolutely. Thighs add a little extra richness and stay juicy during the long cook time. Just trim any excess fat before adding.

What’s the best garlic parmesan sauce to use?

A homemade blend of softened butter, minced garlic, and parmesan works beautifully. But if you're in a rush, try a garlic parmesan wing sauce from the grocery store it adds creamy flavor fast.

Can I make this without a crockpot?

You can! Use a large oven-safe dish. Bake everything covered at 375°F for about 45 minutes, then uncover and broil the cheese for 2–3 minutes until golden.
