Recipe #18: Crock Pot Chicken Parmesan

Crock Pot Chicken Parmesan

{Borrowed and enjoyed from: Crock Pot Best Loved Slow Cooker Recipes}

 

Serves 4 

Ingredients:

8 oz. cremini mushrooms {sliced}

1 medium onion {cut into thin wedges}

1 T. olive oil

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 jar (26 oz) pasta sauce 

1/2 tsp. dried basil

1/4 tsp. dried oregano

1 bay leaf

1/2 cup (2 oz) shredded part skim mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese  

Hot cooked whole wheat spaghetti

1) Place mushrooms and onions in the bottom of the slow cooker. 

2) heat oil in large skillet, add chicken and lightly brown on both sides. Place chicken in crock pot.

3) pour pasta sauce over chicken. Add basil, oregano and bay leaf. 

4) Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3 - 4 hours. IT's ALWAYS BETTER IF YOU COOK ON LOW IF POSSIBLE! {the meat is more tender}.

5) Remove bay leaf. Sprinkle with cheeses and cook uncovered on low for 15 - 30 minutes or until cheeses have melted. Serve over spaghetti.

Enjoy!

All for now,
