Crock Pot Chicken Parmesan

Crock Pot Chicken Parmesan
Don't let that bad picture fool you - this recipe is delicious! It is simple to make, and it does taste like pan made chicken parm! But all it takes is a few minutes of prep (no pre cooking!) and a couple of hours in your slow cooker. I actually made this one as written! SHOCKING I know. lol But with seasoned breadcrumbs and real Parmesan cheese, I didn't even need to change the spices. Ok, I did sprinkle the leftover breadcrumb mixture on the top of the chicken before cooking, as you can see below. But that is it! The leftover cooked sauce I used on pasta. Yummy!!!


I used 3 chicken breasts in this recipe - 4 would be perfect

Instructions 
Spread the 1 TBSP of olive oil into the bottom of your crockpot.
Beat the egg with a fork in a separate bowl.

Dip the chicken into the egg, then into the bread crumb mixture, coating both sides with crumbs, cheese and seasonings.
Place the chicken breast pieces in the bottom of the crockpot.
Layer 2-3 slices or 1-2 cups of mozzarella cheese on top, depending on how much cheese you like.
