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!
Now don’t panic, you are not going to have soggy chicken. I promise.
I’m doing Chicken Parmesan differently this time…
You will love it!
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!
We love this Chicken Parmesan Crock Pot recipe!
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!
All I did was place the chicken in the crock pot and then pour my favorite Italian spaghetti sauce on top. Let it cook all day and you find your house filled with the tasty smells of Italy.
Our favorite is this Crock Pot Spaghetti Sauce Recipe. It’s very simple to make and so frugal to make.
I make a big batch of this spaghetti sauce and keep it in the freezer. It’s so nice to just be able to put it out when I need it for recipes.
I think it’s much better than store bought and it is cheaper too. We save a ton of money making our own spaghetti sauce.
You could also use marina sauce in this recipe and it would be yummy.
Seriously, this Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Chicken smells so good!
