Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Pour marinara sauce over the chicken, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Sprinkle Italian seasoning evenly on top.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat, cooking for 4 to 6 hours until the chicken is tender.
- About 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken and cover to let it melt.

Notes
For a crispy topping, you can broil the dish briefly after cooking to give the cheese a nice golden finish. Consider adding vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for extra flavor.
