Slow Cooker Balsamic Chicken
Slow cooker balsamic chicken is easy to prep with just a few ingredients for a simple weeknight dinner that has big flavor!
Equipment
- Slow Cooker
Ingredients
- 2.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 can diced tomatoes, drained 14.5 oz.
- 0.5 cup balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- chopped fresh parsley for serving
Instructions
- Combine Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl and sprinkle over chicken breasts. Place chicken breasts in the insert of the slow cooker.
- Top chicken with onion slices and diced tomatoes. Pour balsamic vinegar and chicken broth over chicken.
- Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 2 ½-3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through.
- Serve hot, sprinkled with chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
I serve the chicken breasts sliced and topped with lots of extra sauce. It's all about the sauce. You could also shred the chicken if you prefer and stir it back into the sauce. Serving: I serve this with quinoa or steamed brown rice, but it would work with couscous or polenta too. Or just add some crusty bread to scoop and eat with. Leftovers: Once cooled, leftovers can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. Or freeze the leftovers for up to 5 months in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw overnight in the fridge. Reheat over medium low in a skillet or in individual servings in the microwave until warmed through. (Bonus: The sauce helps keep the chicken from drying out!)
