Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 14 oz Crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and Italian seasoning until well combined.
Drizzle olive oil into the bottom of the crock pot and spread evenly.
Place the seasoned chicken breasts into the crock pot in a single layer.
Pour the tomato mixture over the chicken, ensuring that all pieces are covered with sauce.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the sauce.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 4 hours or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
About 20 minutes before the cooking time is up, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken and cover again, allowing the cheese to melt fully.
Once the cooking is complete, carefully remove the chicken breasts from the crock pot and plate them. Spoon additional sauce from the pot over each piece if desired.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm. Pair with pasta, rice, or a side salad for a complete meal.
