Slow Cooker Balsamic Chicken Recipe
I just love Balsamic. I could eat it with a spoon. I am not kidding.
Balsamic is amazing on just about anything. Yum!
This Crock pot Balsamic Chicken recipe is simply amazing. I love my Balsamic Chicken – Easy skillet chicken recipe, and I definitely love my Balsamic Pulled Chicken Sliders when we have people over.
However, I really wanted a crock pot dinner. I love being able to just sit back and have the slow cooker do all the work!
I love how easy Balsamic Chicken Crock Pot is to make and how “fancy” it looks and tastes!
Especially considering this is coming out of the crock pot. So easy!
You need a crock pot for this Balsamic Chicken Slow Cooker Recipe.
There are some really good ones on sale right now. If you work all day, you may want to invest in a programmable crockpot.
They are awesome because you can set them to start later, or to stop and switch to warm once the dinners are ready. Amazon has some on sale right now too.
I also really like this crockpot. Now, it’s not programmable but it’s so handy!
It has the feature where you can lock the lid down.
That feature is so nice for when you take meals to potlucks or need to transport the meal somewhere.
Now if you want to save yourself even more time (don’t we all? ) then I really recommend these Crockpot liners. They make clean up a breeze.
Instead of scrubbing and washing the pot, you can just toss the liner. It is practically no clean up.
Years ago, I had been looking for recipes for balsamic chicken for a while, but just couldn’t find any that I thought would work for the crock pot.
I finally made my own delicious recipe, and the family loved it. We have been cooking it for years.
My favorite part it how frugal this Balsamic Chicken Recipe Crockpot is!
It is so easy and everyone will enjoy this recipe.

I just love that.
What to serve with slow cooker balsamic chicken:
My family enjoys this most served with pasta and green beans to make it a complete meal.
I just love the balsamic sauce spooned over the noodles with a little Parmesan cheese. So tasty!

Just serve it over spaghetti squash and make it extra healthy. It’s actually very good like this!
This is also a very good Weight Watchers Slow Cooker Balsamic Chicken recipe. It is so healthy and delicious.

You know those weeks where you are running from school to endless activities? Those are the days I am so grateful to pull one of these meals out of the freezer.
We do a lot of freezer meals and love these JOKARI Hands-Free Baggy Rack Storage Bag Holder.
The bag holders are not necessary, but make it so much easier to put the meals together.

Looks Delicious. I have a family of 6, I would probably have to double this recipe, and hope my crock pot can hold it all. My crock pot is about the size you used. I hope it works. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

I loved this , the balsamic is fantastic

I’m having the most delicious tomato soup in the world. My friends LOVE it!!! I have never made it in the crock pot though… I should try. My favorite thing to cook in the crockpot is country style ribs with sauerkraut. So easy and delicious. I’m from Minneapolis. I love your recipes.
Patty says
Question. In the video you say to use 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning but in the directions, it says 1/2 tablespoon. Which is correct?
Marly says
Hi! This looks so yummy! Can I do this is an instapot?
Carrie says
Yes, this can be made in the instant pot. I would add 1 cup water or chicken broth with the other ingredients and cook it on high pressure for 25-30 minutes with a quick release. I hope you enjoy this recipe.
Lennelle Coleman says
This recipe has a ton of flavor. I love the tangy taste of the balsamic vinegar in it. I also love that it’s in the crockpot. I put it over rice or spaghetti squash. My kids ask for seconds when I make this.
