Balsamic chicken in a crockpot, dinner is served......

Wow! What can I say, dinner was fantastic! I made balsamic chicken in a crockpot, found on the crockpot girls facebook page, posted by Leslie.  Wow. Just a tad bitter, so I added a few teaspoons of sugar and it ROCKED. I made it over organic whole wheat linguine and shredded the chicken in the crockpot. I made 8 meals and will be having leftovers when I go back to work next week. Plus Dad will get some, so he'll be happy!

Balsamic Chicken:
4-6 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts
2 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
1 onion thinly sliced (Not chopped)
4 garlic cloves
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tblsp olive oil
1 tsp each: dried oregano,basil, and rosemary
1/2 tsp thyme
ground black pepper and salt to taste

2 tablespoons of sugar.

Pour the olive oil on bottom of crock pot.  Place in chicken breasts, salt and pepper each breast and put sliced onion on top of chicken.  Then put in all the dried herbs and garlic cloves.  Pour in vinegar and top with tomatoes.

Cook on high 4 hours, serve over angel hair pasta.


I think it holds up to linguine. And the pasta mixed with the balsamic sauce and thickened it up.
Yum!
