Slow Cooker Balsamic Chicken

Let the crockpot do all of the work in the easiest dish of all time. Simply throw everything in with 5 min prep. That's it!

I have had some requests for recipes that do not involve the stovetop or oven because at this time of the year, excess heat is really unnecessary, especially in this 90 degree+ heat wave.

So the crockpot comes in super handy during this summer heat, and it's even better when you can whip up the easiest chicken dish of all time with just 5 min prep.

Yes, I promise you. It's really 5 minutes – there's no searing or sautéing here. Simply throw in your seasoned chicken into the slow cooker and stir in that balsamic goodness. Done.

Now the recipe calls for bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts but you can easily substitute boneless, skinless 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!
