Crockpot Chicken Parmesan

2 to 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 egg
mozzarella cheese
jar of marinara sauce
pasta

1. Pour olive oil in crockpot, coating the bottom.(I just eyeballed this. I have a large crockpot so I just poured some in and started moving it around.)
2. Beat egg in dish.
3. Mix the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper in another dish.
4. Dip chicken into egg, then coat all sides of the chicken with the bread crumb mixture.
5. Place the chicken in the bottom of the crockpot. (I used 4 pieces and it fit perfectly in the bottom.)
6. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over chicken. (The site where I got this recipe didn't say how much, so I just sprinkled a little on top. Next time I think I will use more.)
7. Pour marinara sauce over everything. (I also poured a small can of tomato sauce on top and seasoned it like I would my spegetti sauce.)
8. Cook on High for 3 to 4 hours or Low for 6 to 7 hours. (I cooked mine for a little over 3 1/2 hours and the chicken was perfect!)
9. Serve over pasta and top with more cheese if wanted.

This is something I will definitely make again! It was really yummy!!!

It gets me every time...

I was folding laundry in my bedroom after putting my boys to bed. They were watching "Marley and Me" in my room tonight. I had just started folding when the part came on when Jenn has a miscarriage. I started bawling!!! That part always gets me. It reminds me when I had my miscarriage. Mickey would not leave my side. At the time, he was only 3 months old, but it was like he knew that I needed him to be next to me. I have probably seen the movie at least a dozen times, and I ALWAYS cry at that part.
