Chicken Winner ... Slow Cooker Chicken Parmesan (7 Points)

Sunday Supper Meal Ideas ... This meal is ALWAYS a hit with the family and it's on the skinny version!!

One of Rick's favorite meals is Chicken Parmesan.  So when I saw this version of Slow Cooker Chicken Parmesan on Emily Bites, I just had to give it a try.  I'm all about my slow cooker since I'm running on low most days with time.  This came out perfect, the chicken was so tender and moist!  I through this together easily in the AM and it was ready to go when everyone came home.


Ingredients:
1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs
2 T flour
4 (4 oz each) raw boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1 lb total)
2 egg whites
1 ½ cups marinara sauce
¾ cup 2% shredded Mozzarella cheese

Directions:
1.    Spread the bread crumbs across the bottom of a large dry skillet and bring over medium heat. Cook for a few minutes, stirring every minute or so to rotate which crumbs are on the bottom until the crumbs are browned.
2.    Combine the flour and chicken breasts in a large Ziploc bag and seal shut. Shake until the breasts are coated with the flour. 
3.    In a shallow bowl, lightly beat the 2 egg whites. Place the bread crumbs on a separate shallow bowl or plate. Dip one floured chicken breast in the egg whites, coating all sides, and then press it into the bread crumbs. Flip the breast to coat with crumbs and then place it into your slow cooker. Repeat with three remaining breasts, creating a single layer of breaded chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker. 
4.    Spread the marinara sauce over the top of the chicken layer. Place the lid on your slow cooker and cook on low for 5-6 hours. About 15-20 minutes before the cooking is finished, add the cheese so it can melt. Serve and enjoy!

ALEXIS NOTES: I used Panko bread crumbs.  My chicken breast were HUGE so I used 3.  I used glutten free Quinoa noodles (no one knew the difference).


Give this a try I promise you'll love it!

Another super easy recipe!  Throw in crock-pot and forget about it!

What's on your menu tonight?
