Crock Pot Balsamic Chicken recipe
Description
This recipe places chicken breasts in a crockpot with sliced onions, canned diced tomatoes, and a half cup of balsamic vinegar. Seasoned with garlic salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning, the ingredients cook together slowly either on low or high heat to produce tender, flavorful chicken.
The balsamic vinegar provides a distinct acidity and sweetness that permeates the chicken, while the tomatoes contribute moisture and a mild tomato flavor. The overall preparation is hands-off and ideal for creating a meal with minimal effort.
Serving the chicken over pasta is recommended to complement its sauce, though it can be served as prepared. The notes indicate that both fresh and frozen chicken can be used, adjusting cook times accordingly. Leftovers should be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to a week.
