Busy Day Italian Crock Pot

Lorac's Note:

I have always done this in the oven as a quick fix dinner. With the crock pot version, you can walk in the door, cook some pasta and toss a salad.

• ¼-1⁄3; cup grated parmesan cheese
• 2 -3 tablespoons tomato paste (optional)

This was great!!! It was done in about 5-6 hours and it turned out perfect. I was getting really tired of recipes for chicken parmesan that turned out dry and tough. The chicken in this recipe is tender and juicy. Thanks alot!! Made for your Get Well Cookathon.
