The recipe starts by spreading marinara sauce in the bottom of a slow cooker. Then the chicken is added, it cooks slowly right in the marinara sauce. Topped with mozzarella cheese for that gooey cheesiness we all love about chicken parm. A mixture of panko, parmesan and herbs is the perfect substitute for frying. It's a easier and healthier version of the dish we all know and love.
