Chicken Parmesan


Ingredients:
1 (25 oz). jar spaghetti sauce
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 cups Italian bread crumbs
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. dried basil
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 cup (or more if you like) shredded mozzarella cheese
1 package of spaghetti noodles (for serving)

Spray slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray (or use a slow cooker liner).
Pour in jar of spaghetti sauce.



Get two shallow bowls. 
In one bowl mix egg & milk together. (Add salt & pepper to taste if you wanted, I ended up not)

In a second bowl, mix bread crumbs with garlic powder, oregano, & basil. 



Now you basically get an assembly line set up. Dip chicken in egg then roll it in crumb mix, and repeat with each piece. 

Add your chicken to a skillet & brown the chicken. I'm guessing 3-5 minutes on each side. Be careful NOT to cook. Your cooking will take place in the crockpot. 

Once you have browned each piece, place on top of sauce. Now the recipe called for 3-4 pieces, but we have a larger family so I did 5 pieces of chicken breasts. 

If you do it correctly it should all fit normally with just one layer. But with me I  layered mine.


Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
Since I didn't time crunch everything I'm putting it on high for about an hour-hour and a half, then switching to low for the remainder which should be 4-5 hours. 

About 30 minutes before its done, you'll want to start cooking the noodles. 

And about 10-15 minutes before serving sprinkle your cheese on top. 

Serve over spaghetti. Enjoy!  

Finished Result!!!
And as you can see, we enjoyed it!
