This easy slow cooker chicken parmesan is a medley of breaded chicken, warm tomato sauce and gooey cheese. It cooks in the slow cooker so it is effortless.

The story behind Chicken Parmesan is interesting.

Having the combination of chicken, warm sauce and gooey cheese on your plate? That’s everything a meal should be. Served alone, or over noodles, it’s a meal my family can’t wait to get to the table to partake.

This easy chicken parmesan recipe cooks in the crockpot. How easy is that?

*I use the food processor to turn those chip crumbs into the coating. We love Snikiddy’s Cheddar Cheese Fries

**Sliced Cheese–try Pepper Jack or Cheddar for a change

***I LOVE this marinara sauce if you have time to make your own.
