Crockpot Parmesan Chicken

I'm in love with my crockpot. Whoever invented it should be like...nominated for something spectacular. It's so easy for busy families to just put a meal into the pot and walk away and not have to worry about it until you put it on a plate and serve. Most recipes (like this one) are really easy with only a few ingredients to throw together. My favorite part though...the smell it gives off throughout the day. I wish you could somehow let people smell what your house smells like while it's cooking! 

Crockpot Parmesan Chicken

Ingredients: 

-2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half
- 1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
-1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (shredded)
- 1/4 t black pepper
- 1/4 t salt
- 1 T olive oil
- 1 egg, beaten
- shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 jar of your favorite (store bought or homemade) marinara sauce

Spread the 1 T of olive oil into the bottom of your crockpot. Beat the egg with a fork in a separate bowl. Mix the bread crumbs, pepper, salt and Parmesan cheese in a separate dish. Dip the chicken into the egg, then into the bread crumb mix, coating both sides. Place the chicken in the crockpot and sprinkle the mozzarella on top, with however much cheese you like. Cover the chicken with your jar of marinara sauce. 

Cook on low for 6 hours (or high 3).

*I served this chicken over some pasta, and sprinkled more Parmesan on top. Yum :)

**Sorry no picture, I ate it all before I could take one

Fried Rice

Ya'll need an easy, delicious dinner for the week night that feeds a lot? Make some of this fried rice. It's so easy and makes a great side or just a meal all in it's own. I made pork chops to go along with it and cut it into chunks and just threw them in at the end and it worked out perfectly. But I took just the leftover fried rice to work with me the next couple of days after that for lunch and I couldn't get enough. Good tip before you start though is to cook the rice the night before and let it chill in the fridge. Cuts out a lot of time waiting for it to cook and chill. Minimal ingredients with great flavor! I had pretty much everything I needed in my fridge and pantry (other than green onions) to make this. Ingredients: 2T butter, divided 3 eggs, whisked 2 medium carrots, diced into small pieces 1 small onion, diced into small pieces 3 cloves of garlic, minced 1 cup of frozen peas, thawed 4 cups cooked and chilled rice 3T soy sauce 2T oyster sau...
