For the Sauce:
28 oz crushed tomatoes
1 tbsp dried Italian seasoning
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:
1. Prepare the Breading:
In a bowl, mix bread crumbs, 1/2 cup Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Remove the chicken and add pasta and water to the slow cooker. Stir well, cover, and cook for 20 minutes until pasta is tender.
5. Finish and Serve:
