Notes
Don't cook the chicken all the way through in the skillet. We are just browning it to help seal in juices and create a crisper texture. It will cook fully in the slow cooker.
Spray the slow cooker with cooking spray before placing in the chicken to prevent sticking and help with clean-up.
Storage: Store Crockpot chicken parmesan in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days, or freeze for 3 months.
