Equipment

  • 5-6 quart slow cooker
  • large skillet
  • shallow bowls

Ingredients
  

  • 25 ounces marinara sauce
  • 3-4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts depending on how many will fit in your slow cooker
  • 1.5 cups Italian seasoned Panko bread crumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon pepper to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried basil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese more if you prefer
  • 0.25 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 package spaghetti for serving

Instructions
 

  • Spray an oval 5-6 quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Pour in jar of marinara sauce.
  • Get out two shallow bowls. In one bowl, whisk together egg and milk. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a second bowl, mix together panko bread crumbs with garlic powder, oregano and basil.
  • In a large skillet, begin heating up the vegetable oil. You want to get your skillet very hot before adding chicken to it. Dip each chicken breast into the milk mixture.
  • Then roll it around in the seasoned bread crumbs. Coat each breast one at a time.
  • Then add chicken to hot skillet. Continue with the rest of the chicken. You aren't cooking them all the way through - just getting a good browning on each side. If necessary, add more oil to the pan.
  • After browning both sides, add chicken to the crock pot on top of the sauce. Cover and cook on low for about 5-6 hours. Internal chicken temperature will be 165F degrees when finished.
  • About 10-15 minutes before serving, sprinkle each piece of chicken with shredded mozzarella cheese and shredded Parmesan cheese.
  • Cover again and allow cheese to melt. Serve over cooked spaghetti noodles.

Notes

The key to keeping the breading on is to not constantly flip them. Let it get good and brown on one side. This helps the breading to stick before flipping to the other side. Pushing them around and flipping too much will cause the breading to come loose.
