In a small bowl, crack the egg and whisk it up until well beaten. Set aside. In a larger bowl, add the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
1 cup Italian breadcrumbs, ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese, ½ teaspoon Black pepper, ½ teaspoon Salt, 1 Egg
Slice the chicken breasts in half, then dip them into the egg, then the bread crumbs, making sure to coat both sides well.
3 Chicken breasts
Spread the olive oil on the sides and bottom of the slow cooker, then add the chicken breasts.
2 Tablespoons Olive oil
Layer mozzarella over the chicken, then pour in the jarred sauce.
2 cups Mozzarella, 24 oz Tomato sauce
Close the lid and cook on LOW for 6 hours. Serve, and enjoy!

Mozzarella is a perfect mild, melty cheese for chicken parm, but feel free to experiment with other melty white cheeses! I love using pepper jack or Gruyere for a flavorful kick.

Jarred sauce makes this recipe incredibly low-effort and quick to whip up, but it's also the perfect recipe for using up leftover spaghetti sauce. For an even more deluxe dinner, try it out to use up leftover Sugo!

It's super easy to alter this recipe into gluten free Chicken Parmesan by using gluten free breadcrumbs instead!

Looking to bulk up dinner? Whip up a pot of your favorite pasta to serve Chicken Parmesan over top of! Just get the pasta cooking 15 minutes before the chicken is done.
