Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cups Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoons Dried basil
- 1 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the Crock Pot in a single layer.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, chicken broth, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated.
Cover the Crock Pot with the lid and set it to cook on LOW for 4 hours (or HIGH for 2 hours).
Optional: After cooking, remove the chicken and pour the liquid into a small saucepan. Heat the liquid over medium heat for 5-8 minutes to reduce and thicken into a glaze. Pour the glaze back over the chicken.
Serve the balsamic chicken warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Pair it with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a side salad for a complete meal.
