All parents can use a few quick and easy, but sure to please recipes for dinners at home or on the run. This recipe for Slow Cooker Chicken Parm Sandwiches fits the criteria. The prep is minimal and using the slow cooker means that it's ready to eat when you are!

In your slow cooker, add a package of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, a jar of your favorite pasta sauce and a jar of water. Cover and set the slow cooker to high heat for 4 hours.
