This slow cooker in the crock pot Chicken Parmesan recipe is quick and simple to make. Plus, it’s made even quicker by using dinosaur nuggets (or any other chicken nuggets) instead of breading the chicken yourself!
Well, I have a new obsession. I have been waiting days (like 10) for these adorable booties to come in the mail from Target and they finally arrived today! I wasn’t home much but every time we arrived home, I’d check the porch to see if it had arrived. Finally around 3 pm it must have come and after pulling the car into the garage, I grabbed the Target package off the porch and took it inside.
I tried to have some self control in opening them so I put dinner into the crock pot first. The thing I love about slow cookers on days like today is that I can be gone most of the day and still have a delicious dinner waiting for my family when we get home. And today I knew I’d need dinner waiting in the slow cooker for us. Unfortunately, my husband had plans to go get surprise us and go get sushi but I talked him out of it since it was the first day all week that I had actually made dinner. So we’ll go tomorrow.
Anyway, we had just gone to Costco to buy some foods (new month, new budget!) and we bought some dinosaur nuggets. I’ve been craving some hot meals with meat and cheese and so I put the dino nuggets on the bottom of the crock pot, layered some tomatoes on top with fresh yellow onions from the garden, and then some seasonings to top it off and then had no more self control and went and freed my booties from the Target package.
I took them upstairs to my room (like a little girl with a brand new doll) and tried them on. To my devastation, they’re too small! Which means I will be waiting at least another week to get a new size. I looked for them at my local Target but to my dismay, they’re not there. It’s not like I needed to wear them immediately but still, I’m a little disappointed. Okay. A lot disappointed.
Luckily we arrived home from my daughter’s gymnastics tonight with the most delicious Chicken Parmesan with dinosaur nuggets tossed with pasta. Despite my shoes not working out so well, at least my dinner did!
