Crock pot Chicken Parmesan

This recipe is delicious and easy to make.  It is a big hit with everyone of all ages in our household.  Since you use your choice of spaghetti sauce it's easy to be an instant hit with your family too.

Crock Pot Chicken Parmesan

4-6 chicken breasts
2 eggs (well blended)
Bread crumbs
Italian seasoning
Granulated garlic
Parmesan cheese(fresh shred is best but the can stuff works in a pinch.)
Sliced mozzarella (soft buffalo is best)
Jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce.

Oil the bottom of crock pot.
In a large bowl mix breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, granulated garlic, and Parmesan cheese.

Dip chicken in egg, coat well with bread crumb mixture.
Use a Wet Hand/Dry hand technique to keep hand from getting too messy. Keep one hand in each ingredient not crossing the wet hand into dry ingredients.  Once you place the chicken in the bread crumbs cover with bread crumbs and press.  It keeps both hands fairly clean.

Place each coated chicken breast in bottom of the crockpot.  (Lots of chicken for my huge family)

Add slices of mozzarella cheese to the top of each breast. (I love the fresh mozzarella, it holds the cheese in a layer and doesn't scorch)

Pour spaghetti sauce over the top coating everything. 

Cover and cook on high 3 hours or low 6. 

Cook pasta to be served with it. Remove chicken breasts from Crockpot and toss cooked pasta in the sauce and cheese mixture to coat well. 

There will be enough sauce to cover the pasta after you remove the chicken. Penne pasta is a favorite to serve with this meal in our house.

Sorry if the pictures aren't very pretty. I'm trying to work on improving my photography.  Plus this is too delicious to stop and get a picture of before eating.  (Took me 3 time cooking this before I finally got the pictures)

Slow Cook Easy Shredded Pork

This recipe was deliciously easy. I cannot believe I didn't make this years ago.

This recipe is also the first time I was able to use my brand new beautiful Cusinart Multicooker.

My wonderful husband bought be this beautiful appliance after our last crock pot finally gave up after years of heavy use.  Instead of getting me just a new crock pot  I got this beauty. You can turn it to slow cook on high for 5 hours. Don't show up in time to get it off high?  The machine kicks in to warming mode instead.  Saving dinner from scorching!


1 (2 pound) pork roast
1 can Root Beer

Seriously that's it.  I don't add BBQ sauce to this list like other recipes do as this shredded pork is for more than just BBQ sandwiches.  (Pork Tamales... yes, please)

Place your pork roast into the crock pot and add the root beer.

Then let cook on low for 6 hours. Then drain away the juices.

Shred meat and either toss with BBQ and add between a bun or save for other delicious shredded pork meals.
