Chicken Parmesan

I was up late last night talking to my dad on the phone for an hour and a half about cooking, recipes, etc. After I got of the phone I went on a recipe hunt, not looking for anything in particular just really looking. That's when I ran into this delicious dish on Full Bellies, Happy Kids.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my slow cooker so I'm willing to try anything in it. It saves me a ton of time making supper since I'm always busy with our almost 10 month old daughter. There was no problem at all throwing this dish together unplanned since I knew I had everything on hand. The only difference in my is that I used regular spaghetti sauce (we only use Prego in this house) instead of the marinara.

The chicken was fall apart tender, you will not need a knife with this. Slow cooked chicken is about the only chicken I can stand to eat anymore and this is amazing. This will for sure make it to your own recipe box! Thank you, Full Bellies, Happy Kids.
