Crock Pot Chicken Parm

(Instagram Photo, duh.)

So this very appetizing photo may look like it was difficult to pull off... BUT It really only took me 20 minutes (maybe less) to prepare. 

The first time I made it, I made two portions, using 2 chicken breasts. The second time I used 3 with the same amount of marinara and such and it turned out just as good. 

Here is what I used for my crock pot chicken Parm: 

2-4 Chicken Breasts  

1 Tbs of Olive Oil 

1 Egg 

1/2 Cup Bread Crumbs 

1/2 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese 

Mozzarella Cheese 

1 Jar of Marinara Sauce 

4 Cloves of Garlic 

Salt to taste

Here is the How-To: 

1. Line the bottom of the crock pot with the olive oil 
2. Scramble your egg, and roll the chicken in the egg, and then in the bread crumbs. 
• I should add that it is easier to use thawed chicken breast, but it does work with frozen if you are in a pinch! (Like I was the second time I made it ;)) 
3.  Place the chicken in the crock pot, and cover it in the parmesan cheese. 
4. Slice or grate as much mozzarella cheese as you would like. 
• The second time I made this with Montery Jack Cheese (its all I had) and it worked fabulously. Also cut a couple calories....... :) 
5. Next, peel the garlic cloves and toss those into the crock pot 
6. Then open up your jar of marinara and pour it on top 
7. Let that sit in the crock pot on low for 5-7 hours  

I probably could have gotten fancy and made my own marinara sauce, but I've really just been too busy. I took a short cut and bought a jar of Classico. 

It seems I am always rushing and always have something to do, or something on the go - I am learning it is okay to take shortcuts sometimes! 

Enjoy!
