Place coated chicken breast in the bottom of a hot crockpot, sprayed with cooking spray. Top chicken with:1 cup spaghetti sauce (Hunts is 40 calories per ½ cup, so I used that), 1 cup mozzarella cheese, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and 1 teaspoon course salt.
Cook on low temperature for 3-4 hours, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Serve and enjoy!
