In a bowl, whisk together 1 egg and ¼ cup whole milk. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup Italian breadcrumbs, ¼ cup parmesan cheese,1 teaspoon saltand ½ teaspoon black pepper.
Coat 4 chicken cutlets, in the egg mixture, then dredge each one in the breadcrumb mixture.

At the bottom of a crockpot, pour 1 (22-ounce) jar marinara sauce and place the seared chicken on the sauce. Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 3-4.
In the last 30 minutes of cooking, sprinkle ¾ cup mozzarella cheese, on the chicken. Cover and allow the cheese to melt.
When the chicken is cooked through, serve over pasta and enjoy!
