I made this the other night for dinner and everyone in my family loved it! It doesn't have the "crunch" of regular fried or baked chicken parmesan but it has all of the flavor. And it's MUCH healthier! I served it with the Ronzoni Smart Taste pasta which has added fiber and is a white pasta but has the health benefits of a wheat pasta. I've tried to get my family to eat wheat pasta but they hate it! This recipe is worth a try..
2-4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (I actually used 5 small ones)
1/2 cup Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs
1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
1/4 t black pepper
1/4 t salt
1 TBSP olive oil
1 egg, beaten
sliced or shredded mozzarella cheese
favorite jarred marinara sauce
Spread the 1 TBSP of olive oil into the bottom of your crockpot.
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 2-3 slices or 1-2 cups of mozzarella cheese on top (I used 1 cup and it was plenty, could probably even omit if you wanted), depending on how much cheese you like.
Cover chicken and cheese with entire jar of marinara sauce.
Close lid and cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 3. (Mine was done on low in less than 4 hours)
Serve with your favorite pasta.
