Crock Pot Chicken Parmesan


I found this recipe on Pinterest and made a few changes to it:

  • 2-4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • 1/2 cup Bread Crumbs
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/4 t black pepper
  • 1/4 t kosher salt
  • 1 TBSP olive oil
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, mixed with grated parmesan cheese
  • 3 cups of marinara or spaghetti sauce
  • 1 lb penne

Spread the olive oil into the bottom of your crockpot stoneware insert. Beat the egg with a fork in a separate bowl. Mix the bread crumbs with the seasonings and the Parmesan cheese in another separate dish. 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 the shredded cheeses on top of chicken, depending on how much cheese you like. Cover chicken and cheese with sauce. Close lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4. Serve with cooked penne, as instructed on bag or box.
