SLOW COOKER BALSAMIC CHICKEN

So easy and so good. I use frozen chicken breasts and cook on high for 4 hours in the slow cooker. The sauce is not thick, it is a bit runny, but very tasty. Add tomato paste if you want it thicker. Serve on top of pasta and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. I use one can of crushed tomatoes and one can of diced tomatoes.

  • To make the chicken even more flavorful, marinate it in the balsamic vinegar mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
