Chicken Parmesan with Slow Cooker Marinara Sauce

Chicken parmesan is an Italian classic that can be served in many different ways. Whether on its own with a vegetable side, over spaghetti noodles or on a hoagie roll, it’s sure to be tasty. Our recipe below makes perfectly crispy, pan fried chicken cutlets which are then topped with fresh mozzarella cheese and placed under the broiler for five minutes. Once the cheese is melted and gooey, it’s topped with homemade slow cooker marinara sauce and freshly chopped basil, which adds a pop of freshness to the plate.

This crispy chicken parm feels like it was made by grandma, so it’s comforting and the whole family will love it. It’s great for a chilly spring day or when you miss the taste of home. Serve it with a side of angel hair or spaghetti pasta or by itself on a sandwich or sub roll. It will remind you of your favorite Italian restaurant, but you’ll appreciate how quick and easy it was to prepare this delicious meal at home.
