Slow Cooker Balsamic Chicken

Slow Cooker Balsamic Chicken - Super tender and juicy boneless skinless chicken breasts cooked low and slow in a delicious balsamic sauce.

This is the perfect easy dinner recipe for those hectic weekdays when you don't have much time to cook. Not only is my Balsamic Chicken recipe easy, but it is absolutely delicious! You and your family are going to love this recipe.

This recipe serves four people giving each person one balsamic chicken breast. If you are cooking for a crowd, you can double this recipe. Also, if you are just cooking for two people, you can cut this recipe in half.

We served our chicken with a fresh spinach salad with tomatoes and it was a perfect healthy meal. I have also served it with mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, glazed carrots and so much more. I will link some of my favorite side dishes to pair with this recipe for you below.

Store leftover chicken completely cooled in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Leftovers are great for sandwiches, on top of a fresh salad, in a lettuce wrap and so much more! I am so excited to share this super easy recipe with you.

Ingredients you need to make Balsamic Chicken in your crockpot/slow cooker:

Chicken Breasts - Four large boneless, skinless chicken breasts. You can also use boneless skinless chicken thighs.

Balsamic Vinegar - A good quality balsamic vinegar is best in this recipe. You'll need ⅓ cup.

Brown Sugar - Light or dark brown sugar both work great in this recipe.
