CROCK POT CHICKEN PARMESAN

When our baseball game starts at 6:00, dinner is a challenge. Weston doesn’t get home until 4:00 and Justin doesn’t get home until 5:00. I really can’t afford to spend that short amount of time prepping a meal. But I want everyone to have a good meal in their stomachs so they’re ready to play and coach!

Starting one of our favorite slow cooker recipes mid-day is my solution to having dinner ready before we all roll out to the baseball field. We all love a good pasta dish and this dump and bake chicken parmesan is perfect for serving with spaghetti!

Check out how easy it is to make and then give it a try to see how your family likes it!

CROCK POT CHICKEN PARMESAN FAQ

IS THIS BREADED CHICKEN PARMESAN?

To make this recipe easier to make, the chicken is not fully breaded. Skipping the breading also makes it a bit lighter and healthier. We’ve added the topping to still give the feeling and flavor of breaded chicken parmesan.

WHAT CAN I SERVE WITH CHICKEN PARMESAN? WHAT SIDES GO WITH CHICKEN PARMESAN?

Pasta is the first thing many people think of when they’re planning what to serve with chicken parmesan. But there are a variety of options. In a pinch, I’ve made white rice to go along with the chicken. I’d love to try spaghetti squash but haven’t yet. You can also serve it as a main dish with a variety of sides including spinach, cucumber salad, steamed or roasted broccoli, or a green salad.

CAN I ADD CHEESE TO THIS CROCKPOT CHICKEN PARMESAN RECIPE?

Absolutely! Because I wanted to make a healthy chicken parmesan version this time around, I left out the cheese. But you can easily add cheese to the recipe to make it even more delicious.

I recommend using mozzarella to go along with the flavors of the sauce and Italian seasoning. When you add the topping to the chicken, sprinkle the top of the chicken with both the topping and then 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Let it melt for about 10 minutes or until completely melted.
