WOW!! I was a little sceptical as to how this would turn out but shame on me for being a doubter. This made an excellent chicken parmesan and as you said, without all the work. I liked the inclusion of the eggplant, too. Sauteing the chicken beforehand I think contributed to the success of this dish. I served the chicken and eggplant with noodles. Thanks for making a believer out of me ;) -
Wow! This was a huge hit with both me and my husband! Normally, my husband does not like chicken in the crock pot, but I decided to try one more recipe and he LOVED it! I think sauting the chicken before putting in the crock pot made a big differnce. The recipe was very easy to make and the eggplant was such a wonderful addition. -
the BEST! this has DEFINATELY made it into my "favorite and often" category in my cookbook here at home. I made this last night and the only "tweaking" I did was, instead of using pizza sauce, I used what I had in my pantry (1 can of diced garlic/basil tomatoes, 1 can tomato sauce & 1 can tomato paste) and it was FANTASTIC! I served mine over ziti with sides of a green salad and garlic bread...a hit with everyone in the family AND I'm looking forward to leftovers for lunch today! AWESOME!!! -
we all liked this very much. Good flavour and ease of preparation. Much as I like eggplant, I don't think I particularly cared for it here and will try without next time. Thanks Geema. -
Great recipe! I skipped the first part of sauteing/breading the chicken and just made this the easy way. It was so yummy! My 3 year old gobbled it up. Thanks for sharing-- what a great keeper!

<p>Life often interupts our comfortable routines in very unexpected ways and in the past three years I've certainly faced some challenges. As a health nut who ate mostly vegetarian I was beyond shocked to discover that I was diabetic. <img title=Yell src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif border=0 alt=Yell /> I shouted and rebelled and cried. But the good news is that I can control my glucose levels simply by eating very low carb. What a complete turn around it was to pass up all my high carb vegetarian foods like grains, and veggies and embrace meat! <img title=Surprised src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-surprised.gif border=0 alt=Surprised /> I've adjusted to this limited diet and thanks to Zaar can eat a nice variety of healthful meals.</p>
<p> The next challenge was a freakish fall I took while in New York with my daughter that left me paralyzed and in much pain. I thank God that I am so much better today after more than two years recovery, with total mobility and just some minor pain in my arms and hands. Cooking and communicating here was not really on my priority list. But, I am back in action and ready to cook, take photos, and enjoy this wonderful community of friends.<img title=Laughing src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif border=0 alt=Laughing /></p>
<p>My husband and I continue to enjoy our grandchildren and being closely involved with their day to day activities. I am also the proud owner of a sweet grey and white cat who came to my door as a little kitten 6 months ago.
