Slow Cooker Balsamic Chicken
Slow Cooker Balsamic Chicken is a flavorful, fuss-free dish that combines tender chicken with a rich balsamic glaze. The slow cooking process ensures the chicken becomes incredibly juicy while absorbing the tangy sweetness of the balsamic vinegar.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, or more to taste
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 (14.5 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
Instructions
- Pour olive oil into the slow cooker, then arrange the chicken breasts on top. Season each breast with salt and pepper, and layer the chicken with onion slices, garlic, and herbs like oregano, basil, rosemary, and thyme. Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the chicken, followed by pouring the crushed tomatoes on top to create a flavorful base for slow cooking.
- Set the slow cooker to High and cook the chicken until it is fully cooked through, with no pink remaining in the center and the juices running clear, about 4 hours. This ensures the chicken is tender and infused with the rich flavors of the sauce.
