Line the crock of a slow cooker with a slow cooker liner, then lightly spray the liner with non-stick cooking spray.
Heat 1 T. oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, tomato paste, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, 1/4 t. salt and 1/4 t. pepper. Cook until onions are softened and tomato paste is rust in color, about 4 minutes.
Transfer onion/tomato paste mixture to the prepared slow cooker; carefully mix in drained diced tomatoes.
Dissolve cornstarch in 1 T. water; stir into the tomato sauce.
Wash chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper; lay breasts on top of tomato mixture. Cover; cook on Low 3 - 4 hours.
Mix together Mozzarella and half of the Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle cheese mixture over chicken; cover; let sit in turned-off slow cooker for 15 minutes to melt the cheese.
Combine Panko crumbs and 1 T. olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook until nicely browned, stirring frequently.
Transfer Panko crumbs to a bowl to cool, then add in remaining Parmesan cheese, basil, 1/8 t. salt and 1/8 t. pepper. Sprinkle on top of cheese. Serve.
