Crockpot Chicken Parmesan Recipe

Sometimes you are craving a specific food but you don’t feel like cooking it in the usual way. I make a delicious Chicken Parmesan but it is a bit labor intensive and since we were still trying to get our lives back in order after Hurricane Irma, I wanted something easy. So…could I make Chicken Parmesan in a crockpot? Hmm, chicken, cheese, pasta, sauce, yes I can do this! That is how this recipe was conceived.

I love how easy this recipe is and I was so glad I had done a crockpot meal because as we were preparing to sit down and eat, a friend from church stopped by with his chainsaw to cut down more of our tree that was damaged in the storm! Ron was outside helping with the tree so I decided to wait to eat. Jordan was starving to he ate right away. Jordan said this is now his favorite meal 🙂 When he was done eating he went outside to help with the tree. I waited for a bit but I was hungry so I ate a small portion. Finally, about an hour later, Ron was ready to eat and I ate another small portion while he ate. We all loved this recipe and it will be going into my regular meal plan rotation.
