Description

This Crockpot Balsamic Chicken recipe offers a simple, flavorful way to prepare tender chicken breasts slow-cooked in a tangy balsamic vinegar and honey sauce, infused with garlic and herbs. Perfect for an effortless meal, the slow cooker does the work, resulting in juicy, savory chicken garnished with fresh basil for an aromatic finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the crockpot and season them evenly with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
  2. Mix the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, chicken broth, minced garlic, dried basil, and dried oregano. Stir well until all ingredients are fully blended.
  3. Combine and cook: Pour the mixed sauce evenly over the chicken breasts in the crockpot. Cover with the lid and cook on the low setting for 6 to 7 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked through.
  4. Serve: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to plates and spoon some of the cooking juices over the top. Garnish each serving with fresh basil leaves for added aroma and color.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh, quality chicken breasts to ensure tenderness.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the chicken after cooking and simmer the sauce on the stovetop to reduce before serving.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to taste.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
