How to Make Marinara Chicken in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
Life is crazy at times. It seems like when we are not on the run to go here and there, there is always something to clean, laundry to do or a meal to cook. With this Crock Pot Marinara Chicken recipe, you will have one of those tasks that you can check off with ease!
I can say with certainty that this recipe is kid approved! Ryder and Iyla both thought it smelled amazing and asked for a bite. After one bite, they asked for a bowl of this yummy chicken. They quickly finished those off and asked for more!
So I ate my chicken on a bun with some yummy shredded mozzarella cheese. Ryder and Iyla had their chicken by itself in a bowl with some grated Parmesan cheese on top. It got me to thinking of all the possible ways you could serve this delicious chicken! On a tortilla or wrap, over rice, over noodles or maybe even on a bed of mashed potatoes or mashed cauliflower!
Also, a heads up for all of my fellow non-spicy food eaters out there. I am a complete and total wimp when it comes to spicy “heat”. This recipe is not hot at all. It is just really flavorful!
