Recipe Ingredients

• Chicken: This recipe calls for a little over 2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts. If you have extra chicken, try crockpot chicken pot pie.

• Tomatoes: You’ll need 1 can of diced tomatoes and it won’t need to be drained.
• White Onion: This will be sliced and slowly cooked with all of the other ingredients.
• Balsamic Vinegar: Just a ½ cup of balsamic vinegar will make the best-tasting balsamic sauce.
• Chicken Stock: A ½ cup chicken stock or chicken broth is combined with vinegar to create a balsamic mixture and delicious sauce. You can use left over homemade slow cooker chicken stock if you have any on hand.

Step One – Place chicken breasts into the slow cooker.

Step Two – Season chicken breasts with the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Step Three – Add the minced garlic, sliced onion slices, diced tomatoes (undrained), pour balsamic vinegar, and chicken stock to the slow cooker.
