Say ciao to a new way of cooking. Italians may not have invented the slow cooker, but they know a thing or two about spending hours over a hot stove. That’s how they created classic combinations with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, basil and garlic. And that’s exactly how you’ll craft this slow-cooker chicken Parmesan. The only difference is your chicken gets a Greek twist and doesn’t require your watchful eye. Yassou, convenience!
