Slow Cooker Chicken Parmesan

There’s not much that I’m wouldn’t make in a slow cooker. I’ve made cinnamon rolls, dinner rolls, desserts, and breakfasts with my slow cooker.

I don’t like overly crunchy chicken parmesan. I prefer my chicken parm to have a little crunch but mostly be saucy, cheesy chicken.

So, I thought that chicken parmesan in a slow cooker could be a good fit.

With this slow cooker chicken parmesan recipe, you end up with a very moist chicken breast, smothered in sauce and cheese, and covered with a bit of crunch topping.

All of which is my idea of delicious chicken parmesan.

This chicken would also be great served as sandwich instead of with a side of pasta.
