Easy Parmesan Chicken

Colleen: "I don't like having to do any cooking before I put food in the crock pot, I think that its stupid. But for this recipe I made an exception & it was worth it. I threw this dish over some penne & my little boys just gobbled it up. I did add in some bonus spices such as Pasta seasoning thats mixed with red pepper flakes & rosemary." 


Ingredients:
8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 medium onion, cut into thin wedges
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 jar (26 oz) pasta sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan
Hot cooked spaghetti


  1. Place mushrooms and onion in slow cooker.
  2. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Lightly brown chicken on both sides. Place chicken in slow cooker. Pour pasta sauce over chicken; add herbs. Cover cook on LOW 6 to 7 hours or on HIGH 3 to 4 hours until chicken is no longer pink in center. Remove and discard bay leaf. 
  3. Sprinkle chicken with cheeses. Cook, uncovered, on LOW 15 to 30 minutes or until cheeses are melted. Serve over spaghetti. 
Serving Suggestions: Other vegetables, such as sliced zucchini, cubed eggplant or broccoli florets, can be substituted for the mushroom slices.
