Balsamic chicken is a classic dish that is perfect for a busy weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a savory and flavorful dish that will please the whole family. The key to making the best balsamic chicken is to use a good quality balsamic vinegar. Look for a vinegar that is aged for at least 18 months, as this will give it a richer flavor.

SLOW COOKER BALSAMIC CHICKEN



Slow Cooker Balsamic Chicken image

So easy and so good. I use frozen chicken breasts and cook on high for 4 hours in the slow cooker. The sauce is not thick, it is a bit runny, but very tasty. Add tomato paste if you want it thicker. Serve on top of pasta and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. I use one can of crushed tomatoes and one can of diced tomatoes.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 6h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 6)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 large yellow bell pepper, chopped coarsely
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon dried oregano

2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

  • Combine remaining ingredients, except parsley, and place on top of chicken.
  • Cover crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until chicken is cooked through.
  • Serve garnished with chopped parsley.

Tips:

  • For a thicker sauce, reduce the amount of chicken broth used. You can also simmer the sauce in a saucepan on the stovetop over medium heat until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can substitute white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar. However, balsamic vinegar will give the chicken a richer, more complex flavor.
  • If you don't have a crock pot, you can make this recipe in a slow cooker. Just cook the chicken on low for 4-6 hours, or until it is cooked through.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables. You can also use the sauce to make a delicious and flavorful gravy.

Conclusion:

Balsamic chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is cooked in a slow cooker with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, and herbs, resulting in a tender and flavorful dish. The sauce is rich and flavorful, and it is perfect for spooning over the chicken and vegetables. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
