Tips Tricks and FAQs
* When making this, I use the breaded chicken tenders that you can find at the store. Feel free to bread your own chicken if you prefer or just use boneless skinless chicken breasts as well.
* If you would rather use your favorite variety of jarred spaghetti sauce you can. Just swap out the 2 cans of crushed tomatoes and the seasonings.
* I highly recommend you always have a big block of parmesan cheese on hand. Freshly grated cheese melts much easier than pre-shredded cheese.
* If you prefer, you can mix your cooked noodles into this dish when there are about 20-30 minutes left in the cooking time. If you do this add cheese to the top and allow it to melt into the noodles.
Storage
You will want to store your chicken parmesan in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Freezer
This dish freezes well. If you plan to freeze it, I recommend not mixing the pasta in with the chicken as the pasta will not freeze well.
Let your chicken completely cool. Once cooled, place it in a freezer-safe container. This will last up to 2 months.
When you are ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the fridge and add to the crockpot to warm back up. Add more tomatoes or sauce if needed.
