Learn how to make Crock Pot Chicken Parmesan. This recipe let’s the slow cooker do all the work and dinner is ready and waiting.
My family love Chicken Parmesan, but I don’t often have a lot of time in the kitchen. I mean, Chicken Parmesan is a lot of work if you are at soccer practice and running errands all night.
I decided to cook it in my crock pot. Yes… My crock pot!
Crock pot Chicken Parmesan was born!

The solution for Slow Cooker Chicken Parmesan is simple!
Instead of coating the chicken in bread crumbs I made a topping for it.
So you cook the chicken in the crock pot all day in some tomato sauce. When it is finished simply top it with mozzarella cheese and a crispy bread crumb topping.
Easy! It really is the best way to make Chicken Parmesan in the slow cooker.
It’s so amazing and very simple!

If you are in the market for a new crockpot, this one is my favorite. I use this all the time and it’s great.
My favorite feature is that you can lock the lid down. This is awesome for when you need to take the crockpot somewhere.
I often use the slow cooker to take dishes to potluck events and this feature is amazing! There are several others on sale here.
Another favorite is this programmable crock pot for when I am am not at home all day. I love coming home to a nice meal ready and waiting!
I also like to use crock pot liners to make clean up a breeze. These are worth every penny and save a ton of time.
Whatever you use, this meal will be amazing!

Dump everything except the bread crumbs into a gallon size freezer bag. Then freeze.

This was fantastic, I’ll be making it often
Does it have to be filleted chicken or can it just be frozen boneless chicken breasts?
No it doesn’t have to be. That is just personal preference for me.
I love watching you videos. I was wondering if there was a way to get ingredient sizes for 4 serving instead of six. I am retired and there is just 2 of us. I don’t want a lot of leftovers. Thank you. Wish you had been around when I was younger and feeding a family.
I’m not sure how to do that for just 4. I would go ahead and cook half and then freeze the leftovers for another quick dinner in a few weeks.
This was good. I added a big can of tomatoes so it was a little runny. Added some tomato paste and am simmering the sauce to heat with leftovers. Chicken was really moist. My husband hates it when it’s dry. Might add sauteed onions in the beginning and a little more spice. My husband can’t have salt so I go little heavier with seasonings. But it truly was a good meal with little effort.
