You can tell from the picture that I never intended to blog this recipe. My plate is quite a mess but I wanted to remember this and since I rarely cook the same thing twice, I use my camera to log recipes.
One bite… Bill looked at me the THAT look. Not THAT one… but the one that says he is so glad that he married me and would do it all over again.
So, here we are… and this is how I made Chicken Parmesan in the crock pot.

I was just saying that I want to make more meals in a slow cooker. This will be recipe #2 in my repetoire of slow cooker recipes. This looks delish!
This sounds wonderful, and I actually LOVE the picture! It’s not messy at all, it just looks inviting! 🙂
Thank you, Kelli. I definitely do not have to worry about anyone stealing my food pics. LOL
Would it make a difference if I used boneless chicken breasts? I’m afraid my girls would have a hard time with the bones in the thighs….
If I wanted to cook this on high I long should I cook for?
I’m not sure since I have never cooked mine on high. Maybe 4 hours? Make sure to check the internal temperature of the chicken before serving if you try it. 🙂 Good luck!
