Description
A cozy and comforting Chicken Parmesan made effortlessly in a slow cooker, bringing your family together over tender chicken, marinara, and melted cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked pasta for serving
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker and generously season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning for an aromatic punch.
- Pour the marinara sauce over the chicken, drenching it completely in that rich, tangy goodness.
- Cook on low for 240-360 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender and succulent.
- In the last 30 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan over the top, letting it melt to a delightful gooeyness.
- Once done, shred the chicken gently in the slow cooker, mixing it well with the sauce until it’s all combined and cozy.
- Serve over freshly cooked pasta, and don’t forget to garnish with fresh basil if desired for that burst of freshness!
Notes
For easier shredding, let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
