Slow Cooker Balsamic Chicken

Updated: Mar 5, 2020

Who doesn't love an easy meal that you can just throw in the crock pot and let it work its magic! It’s really 5 minutes – there’s no searing or sauteing here. Simply throw in your seasoned chicken into the slow cooker and stir in that balsamic goodness. Done. Now, the recipe calls for boneless skinless chicken breasts but you can easily substitute bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts (or thighs) to suit your preferences. Either way, you just can’t go wrong with this garlicky, sweet and savory blend of flavors! Original recipe can be found at https://www.recipesrun.com/recipe/16-slow-cooker-balsamic-chicken.html


Prep Time: 5 minutes

Servings: 4


Ingredients:

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts 1/4 c. balsamic vinegar 1/3 c. low-sodium chicken broth 2 c.

3. Season generously with salt and pepper. Pour marinade over chicken and vegetables. Scatter all over with garlic.

5. Garnish with parsley and serve with the juices.
