      Keri, You may never see this since you left your question well over a year ago, but in case you do....... Glad you asked your question about the "stoneware insert". I had to think about it myself since not all slow cookers have a stoneware cooking pot anymore. My original one did so I figured it out quickly. Anyhow, yes......it means the pot that you cook the food in, not something extra. Happy cooking, Kiddo!

    Hey, Keri...... Glad you asked the question about the "stoneware insert". I had to think it about myself since not all slow cookers have a pot made of stoneware. My original one did though, so it made sense fairly quickly. Yes, the recipe is referring to the pot the food cooks in, not something extra! Happy cooking, kiddo!!!

    This recipe gets 5 stars for ease of preparation and taste! Very easy to make and tastes exactly like chicken parm. BUT -- the moist environment of the crock pot means it won't get that crispy coating like "real" chicken parm gets. Make sure the chicken is completely covered with cheese - use a generous amount, and sliced mozzarella works better than shredded - otherwise you'll basically have chicken in sauce. (Which really isn't so bad either, just a little disappointing if you were expecting actual chicken parm.) Overall, we really enjoyed this and are looking forward to leftovers. Will definitely make again. But if you're looking for "real" chicken parm, this recipe isn't it. But, it's still very good and it's a nice substitute for the real thing if you want something easy.
