Slow Cooker Chicken Parm

While this recipe certainly wouldn't satisfy chicken parm traditionalists, we can't help but love how easy it is. Once again the crock pot comes to the rescue for this version of chicken parm. Merely throw all three (yes, it only takes three!) ingredients into the slow cooker, cook on low for 6-8 hours and you've got a hearty meal. Since this recipe doesn't require dredging the chicken in egg and bread crumbs, the clean up is oh-so-easy as well.
Ingredients:
18 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 jar Ragu Spaghetti Sauce (or any other comparable brand)
1 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
Method:
1.  Place chicken in the crock pot. If you're using frozen chicken tenders, no need to thaw.
2. Pour the spaghetti sauce over the chicken and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
3. Before serving sprinkle the cheese over the chicken and sauce. Re-cover to let the cheese melt.
4. Serve with pasta, garlic bread and/or salad.
