Easy Parmesan Chicken

Easy Parmesan Chicken
By: Rival Crock Pot

8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 medium onion, cut into thin wedges
1 cubed small eggplant (optional)
1 Tablespoon olive oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 jars prepared spaghetti sauce
½ teaspoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
1 bay leaf
½ cup (2oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
Hot cooked spaghetti

Place mushrooms and onion in crock pot.

Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Lightly brown the chicken on both sides. Place chicken in crock pot. Pour pasta sauce over chicken; add spices. Cover. Cook on Low for 6-7 hours or on High (my preference) for 3 hours. Remove and discard bay leaf.

Sprinkle chicken with cheeses. Cook, uncovered, on Low 15-30 minutes, or until cheeses have melted. Serve over cooked spaghetti.

  1. What is the average time on each side to "lightly brown the chicken" ? Thank you! Love Cherise

  2. Lightly browning chicken doesn't take long, a couple of minutes on each side will do it~
