SLOW COOKER BALSAMIC CHICKEN



Slow Cooker Balsamic Chicken image

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken pieces: For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. They will cook evenly and stay moist in the slow cooker.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: Make sure there is enough space for the chicken and vegetables to cook evenly. If the slow cooker is too crowded, the food will steam instead of roast.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade will help to infuse the chicken with flavor. Be sure to use a marinade that contains acidic ingredients, such as vinegar or lemon juice, to help tenderize the chicken.
  • Cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours: The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the chicken pieces and the type of slow cooker you are using.
  • Add the vegetables during the last hour of cooking: This will help to ensure that the vegetables are cooked through but still retain their鮮豔的色彩 and texture.
  • Thicken the sauce, if desired: If you want a thicker sauce, you can whisk in a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) during the last few minutes of cooking.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker balsamic honey glazed chicken and vegetables recipe is an easy and delicious way to prepare a healthy meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the vegetables are perfectly cooked. The balsamic honey glaze adds a touch of sweetness and tang that takes this dish to the next level. Serve this dish with rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
