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.

CROCK POT BALSAMIC CHICKEN WITH PEARS AND PORTABELLA MUSHROOMS image

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 6

1lb skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 medium sized pears, cored and sliced thick
8-10oz portabella mushrooms, sliced thick
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients in the crock pot and let cook for about 4-6 hours on low, or until chicken falls apart easily.

  • Use ripe pears: Firm but ripe pears will hold their shape better in the slow cooker. Bosc or Anjou pears are good choices.
  • Slice the pears evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Sear the chicken before adding it to the slow cooker: This will help to brown the chicken and give it a more flavorful crust.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth: This will add flavor to the dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: The chicken and vegetables should be in a single layer in the slow cooker.
  • Cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours: The chicken is done when it is no longer pink in the center.
  • Serve the chicken with the pears, mushrooms, and sauce: You can also serve it over rice or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

This crock pot chicken with pears and portabella mushrooms is an easy and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the pears and mushrooms add a sweet and savory flavor. This dish is also healthy and low in fat.
