Chicken Parmigiana is an Italian dish that my kids love – but it is not one that I make at home. It is difficult to get it just right, and there are so many great Italian restaurants around town that we just order it when we are out.
But these Slow Cooker Chicken Parmigiana Sandwiches are easy to make at home, and feature the same Italian flavors. And if you love this crockpot recipe then try my Slow Cooker Olive Garden Chicken Pasta or my Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan!
Of course, these aren’t authentic, but they sure are tasty! The chicken is not breaded and fried, so this dinner is a lower calorie than traditional Chicken Parmigiana too.
I love dinners like this that I can put in the crockpot in the morning and know that everything will be ready when I get home. With a simple salad, this is a complete and tasty dinner for the whole family.
It is also perfect for nights when we are busy because everyone can have a hot, home-cooked meal, even if we aren’t able to all sit down at the table together.
Fall is always a busy time of the year for us, with sports and scout meetings multiple nights a week, so it is the perfect time for crockpot meals.

This recipe leaves plenty of leftovers too, because it makes enough for 8 people. So I know I will have leftovers that I can use for chicken spaghetti, or just freeze and serve the sandwiches again in a few weeks.

Anne, I love using the slow cooker especially in the 100+ temps we are having now. This sounds like an amazing recipe and I am looking forward to using it. I have pinned it for later this week after grocery shopping. Thanks for linking up at Snickerdoodle Sunday. I can hardly wait to see what you bring to the party next week.
That looks amazing! I don’t like to fry at home, so I never make the real deal either. This looks like it is full of flavor with all of the mess of frying!
