Slow Cooker Chicken Parmesan

This is a my 5 year olds favorite meal, and I have to admit one of my favorites also. Really easy, not a whole lot of ingredients, and a slow cooker meal, which is always a winner!
Here is what you need:


  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breast tenderloins
  • 3/4 cup Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs 
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
  • Non-stick spray
  • 1 egg, beaten 
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Spaghetti sauce
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Garlic powder
 Spray your slow cooker with non-stick spray
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dip chicken into the beaten egg, then dip into the Italian bread crumbs mixed with the Parmesan cheese.
Put the chicken into the slow cooker
Put 1 cup of mozzarella cheese on top
Pour spaghetti sauce on top of chicken and cheese
Pour a little garlic powder on top of spaghetti sauce
30 minutes before you eat put 1/2 cup of mozzarella on top and let it melt
Cook for 6 hours on low
Put on top of spaghetti noodles
Soooo yum!

  1. Do you brown the coated chicken first?

  2. How long would I cook this on high? Four hours? I'm new to the slow-cooker craze! :)

  3. I really want to try this tomorrow, but I need a lot because I am having Sunday dinner with family. Have you ever cut the chicken into strips or chunks to make sure all gets coated and it's not so bulky?

  4. I had never thought of making this in the crockpot! I tried it and loved it! Now it's on a regular rotation. :)

    I created a spreadsheet a few years ago to help me with meal planning, and have been updating it with every new recipe we try and like. It now contains around 90 meals, each categorized by main ingredient (Beef, Chicken, pasta, etc) and meal type (Mexican, Italian, American, etc), with a link to the recipe - yours included! It has saved me so much time with meal planning and making out my grocery list!
    After talking with some friends, I thought this spreadsheet might be something worth sharing, so I have made it available from my blog to download for free! Now that my readers have your recipe, I'm sure they will be enjoying it as much as we do!
