Crockpot Chicken Parm

This was actually my first time making this recipe, and my first time using my new crockpot.  I've wanted to try slow cooker recipes for a while, especially since there are hundreds of great ideas on Pinterest.  I found this recipe to be fool-proof, and so good!  I think this is actually one of my new favorite meals. 

My adorable Hello Kitty crockpot!  It's just the right size to make a dinner for two. 

Ingredients:

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
Dash of pepper
Dash of salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 jar of marinara sauce

Instructions:

Coat the bottom of the crockpot with the olive oil. In a bowl,  mix the breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese.  In a separate bowl, whisk the egg.  Now, coat each piece of chicken in the egg, then into your breadcrumb mix until covered.

Place all the "breaded" chicken pieces into the crockpot and layer the shredded mozzarella on top.  Pour the jar of sauce in.  Put the lid on and cook on low setting for about 4 and a half hours.

I served this over penne which I cooked just before the chicken parm was ready.

Enjoy!
