Chicken Parmesan



OK- If you love Chicken Parmesan, then you will absolutely love this easy recipe. My family fell in love with this and Chase even ate 3 helpings of this, which was a first. This is a crock pot recipe so you put it together and leave it. (My favorite kind of meals to make)

Chicken Parmesan

2 C. Italian-style Japanese breadcrumbs(panko) (down the baking aisle with the bread crumbs.)
6 skinned and bones chicken breasts
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
4 Tbsp. olive oil
1 (44oz) jar tomato and basil pasta sauce
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 (8oz) package shredded mozzarella cheese
3/4 C. shredded Parmesan cheese (or you can use the regular Parmesan)
Fresh oregano (optional)

1. Spread breadcrumbs on a large plate. Dip chicken in beaten eggs, 1 breast at a time. Dredge chicken in breadcrumbs, pressing gently for crumbs to adhere.
2. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in large nonstick skillet over med-high heat. Cook chicken, in 2 batches, 2 minutes on each side or until browned, adding remaining 2 Tbsp. oil with second batch.
3. Pour pasta sauce into a lightly greased slow cooker over sauce. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover and cook on HIGH 3 1/2 hours. Add cheeses; cover and cook on HIGH 5 more minutes or until cheese melts. Garnish with oregano if desired.

I also then cooked angel hair pasta and then when it was done I added it to the crock pot and mixed it all together. Oh its so yummy.....please try it- this is by far my favorite out of all my new recipes. Hope you all enjoy.
