How to Make Crock Pot Chicken Parmigiana

  1. Cut 2 lbs whole chicken breasts into 4 equal halves.
  2. In a bowl, beat 2 large eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Dip each chicken half into the egg mixture, then dredge in 1 1/2 cups Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs.
  4. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter or margarine over medium heat. Brown chicken on both sides for 2-3 minutes per side. This step helps seal in the juices.
  5. Arrange 1 large eggplant, thinly sliced and lightly salted, in the bottom of your slow cooker. This helps prevent sticking and adds extra flavor.
  6. Place the browned chicken breasts on top of the eggplant.
  7. Pour 24 oz (2 jars) of your favorite pizza sauce evenly over the chicken.
  8. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until chicken is cooked through and easily shreds with a fork.
  9. During the last 15 minutes of cooking, add 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese.
  10. Garnish with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
