How to Make Italian Mozzarella Chicken in a Slow Cooker

Aunt Lou here.

My family just loves this dish. And, my house smells fab-u-lous because of this recipe! We got this recipe from Gooseberry Patch’s Slow-Cooker Christmas Favorites AND it’s a recipe that just so happened to be submitted by fellow blogger, Cindy of Hun…What’s For Dinner?

 

Broiling After Slow Cooking

I love that the chicken goes into the broiler at the end. It perfectly melts the cheese…so it not only looks amazing, it tastes amazing too!

Michael couldn’t get enough of this recipe. He likes most of the recipes I make, but occasionally he really, really loves a recipe and it becomes one he begs me to make again and again. I do believe this Crock Pot Italian Mozzarella Chicken has made that list now. And I am completely okay with that! I’m all about easy recipes being on that list! 🙂

Making This Recipe Low Carb

This dish is an old favorite on Recipes That Crock! If you want to enjoy it Low Carb style, make sure to use a low carb marinara sauce (we enjoy both Rao’s and Mezzetta brands) and substitute one of the following for the penne pasta:

  • Low Carb Pasta (We enjoy this brand.)
  • Whole Green Beans (Sauteed in Butter)
  • Zucchini (Sauteed or Zoodles)
  • Steamed Broccoli
  • Riced Cauliflower

  • I cooked this Crock Pot Italian Mozzarella Chicken in my Hamilton Beach Programmable Insulated Slow Cooker. Any 5-6 quart slow cooker would work just fine, this one is just SO easy to clean that I am in love with it. 😉

      I haven’t tried cooking this on high, but think it would probably be around 3 hours on high. Watch it closely the first time you make it so you can adjust the cooking time as needed.

      Hi Grace!

      You can just leave them out if that is your preference.

    Do you think I could use frozen chicken? I didn’t thaw any last night!

      Hi Erica-
      While we know a lot of folks enjoy using frozen chicken in their slow cooker, we no longer do so because the USDA says not to for food safety reasons: https://www.fsis.usda.gov/shared/PDF/Slow_Cookers_and_Food_Safety.pdf

      Hope you get to enjoy it soon!
