Slow Cooker Chicken Parmesan - Easy Low Carb

This evening we had Slow Cooker Chicken Parmesan that I served over my Rich Parmesan Cauliflower Mash. It turned out great. I actually cooked it overnight last night in my smaller 4-quart crock pot and then dumped it into a casserole dish this morning and let it cool off a bit before popping it in the fridge so I could reheat it when I got home this evening. When I got home, I placed my casserole dish into the microwave and heated it for about 10 minutes until it was hot. While that was heating, I made my Rich Parmesan Cauliflower Mash to serve the Chicken Parmesan over (I first made a well in the center and then filled it). After the Chicken Parmesan was heated through, I topped it with slices of fresh mozzarella cheese and then ran it under the broiler for a few minutes until browned and bubbly. Of course, if you were cooking this in the crock pot during the day, you would simply transfer it to a casserole, top it with the mozzarella and run it under the broiler with no reheating necessary. I snapped a few photos and included the easy peasy recipe below. Enjoy!

Slow Cooker Chicken Parmesan

Ingredients:

1 diced bell pepper
2 pounds of boneless chicken breast, cut into 2-inch chunks
2 cups pasta sauce (I used DelGrosso's Fireworks Sauce)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
8 ounces sliced fresh mozzarella cheese (or substitute regular mozzarella)

Directions:

Place diced bell pepper in bottom of crock pot. Top with chicken breast and pour pasta sauce on top. Cover crock pot and cook on low for 8 to 9 hours (I like to cook it on high for the first hour and then reduce to low). When done cooking, stir in Parmesan cheese and transfer to a shallow casserole dish.

Preheat broiler. Top with sliced mozzarella and broil until lightly browned and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Serve over zoodles or cauliflower mash, if desired.
