Tips for crock pot chicken caprese sliders:
- I really love my Ninja cooker. This is a handy slow cooking system that also allows you to brown meat in the same pot.
- If you are going to be away all day, try this programmable crock pot . So handy!
- Crock pot liners – These make clean up a breeze. These are worth every penny and save a ton of time.
More ideas for Balsamic chicken sliders:
- Low Carb option: We love serving this delicious chicken on buns but it’s great served by itself topped with the tomato, mozzarella cheese and basil for a lower carb meal.
- Meat free option: Do you have people that don’t eat chicken? Serve this without the meat for a delicious slider full of tomato, mozzarella, basil and balsamic vinegar
- Salad: Skip the buns and turn this chicken into a salad. Make your salad as normal and top with the shredded chicken and balsamic.
- Subs: If you have people with heartier appetites, use sub rolls instead of sliders.
- Chicken thighs– We have used chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts and it was still delicious. You can also mix both together. Feel free to use what is on sale or that you already have on hand.

Thank you so much! I’m so glad your grandkids enjoyed them too!
Love these so much, so tasty the grandkids love them too
Oh. My. Word. This was amazing! I stumbled upon this recipe from your street taco recipe and so happy I did! I actually used the cilantro lime rice (thanks for that gem as well!) we had leftover from those tacos with this chicken. Even my husband loved it and he hates balsamic vinegar.
Love your site and thanks again!!
