Throwback Thursday, Slow Cooker Chicken Parmigiana Sliders
As many of you know, I share a house with my son,
a dedicated single dad and a very busy residential contractor
His 2 boys spend part of the week with us
and every other weekend
They are always with us on Tues, Wed, and often Thurs~
These are busy weeknights this Spring,
Super Boy has baseball practice 2 nights,
Big E has Lacrosse practice 2 nights, plus cub scouts…
all taking place during normal dinner time hours 5-7:30
I help out by doing some of the driving
and making sure dinner is ready when these hungry boys get home
The slow cooker really comes in handy!
This is an embarrassingly easy recipe, and very family friendly
Boneless chicken thighs, Marinara sauce,
minced onion, garlic and Italian seasoning
Pour the sauce over the seasoned chicken,
cover and go about your day
Cook on low for 6-8 hours
The chicken will be very tender,
you can shred it with 2 forks or leave it in pieces
Spread butter and garlic bread seasoning on slider buns and toast
Place chicken on buns and top with shaved Parmesan cheese
You can also serve the chicken on a piece of Texas Toast
Or on top of pasta, like easy Ready Pasta,
all you have to do is microwave it for 1 minute!
This tastes really good after a long busy day~

Yum Jenna! So easy and delicious too, I need to blow the dust off my slow cooker. 🙂 I know those boys must love eating at your house! Happy Thursday ♥
Thank you Mary, I love knowing dinner’s ready in the slow cooker!
Anything involves Parmesan is totally right up my alley!
I agree, thanks Angie!
Jenna, this looks delicious and child friendly. Can you believe I don’t own a slow cooker? I am not even sure why! Happy Thursday!
Really? I use mine almost once a week!
What a good grandmother! I’m sure you keep them well fed!
It’s a team effort, my son loves to cook so we sort of tag team, whoever has the most time…
I learned to love my slow cooker when my two boys were little like the two you have. What a time saver and it makes the house smell SO GOOD! I haven’t thought of using it for anything like this recipe, so even though my two are grown, I’ll have to give it try.
I love to throw everything in and set and forget!
This is such an easy recipe to make in the crockpot. It’s the perfect meal for busy weeknights. Thanks for the recipe Jenna and enjoy the end of the week and weekend.
Thank so much Julie!

Thanks Shirley, so easy!
Oh wow, Jenna, this is just a perfect recipe for me. My husband loves chicken parmigiana, and I love the ease of my crockpot! (In fact, I just made crockpot chicken thighs last night. Not parmigiana, though!) I can’t wait to make these. Thanks for sharing at TFT!
Thank you Pam, I just love filling my crock pot and going about my day knowing dinner is ready! I hope you enjoy!
Jenna this sounds so easy and handy…love hearing about your family and I do remember those busy busy busy late afternoons when one didn’t think a hot meal would be available and fast food would suddenly be on the menu. Even though we do not have those “deadlines” anymore…we still look for quick and easy meals.Thanks for the recipe, I will be making it very soon my friend.
Thank you Kari! I love having dinner ready in the crock pot, I am usually out of gas by 5 o’clock!
No longer have a slow cooker here, but this looks delicious. Thanks!
Thank you Sarah, I love the ease of slow cooker recipes, and knowing dinner will be ready when we need it!
So nice to have a hot meal waiting after driving kids to practices and games!
Yes! Thank you~
Sounds delish! Visiting you from the thursday favorite things link up.
Thanks so much!
Yum! Great idea for busy days. Thank you Jenna!
So quick and easy!
Thanks, Jenna! Can’t wait to make this. It looks so delicious and I’ve been wanting to use my slow cooker more.
Thanks Patty Anne, I love to use my slow cooker, easy prep and you know dinner will be ready when you are!
Sounds so good. I wonder if you could substitute thighs for breasts? I’m sure you can. We are weirdly picky and only eat white meat. I was that kid at Sunday dinner after church refusing the drumsticks and not eating if my parents and grandparents ate all the breasts haha! That was the only food I was picky about though so my mom got lucky. This is something I’m going to try. Now I just have to get my picky kid to try it lol. He will eat chicken parm, so cross your fingers for me! Thanks for sharing on Crafty Creators!

You can definitely sub chicken breasts. I used to stay away from chicken thighs but they really have so much more flavor and are more moist than chicken breasts…
