My neighbor stopped by for a quick chat and exclaimed, “You are always cooking something amazing!” as she peeked in my oven… but the oven was empty and cold. All of these delightful aromas where coming from my slow cooker.

My crock pot… I could write a love song. No one would listen to it but I would croon about my gleaming kitchen appliance that prepares wonderful meals for my family while I work on other tasks.

If only every appliance in my life were so efficient! Right?

And when you can put a meal on the table quickly without a lot of effort… that is always a very good thing.

Tons of flavor are packed into this Balsamic Chicken and since it cooks in the slow cooker all day, you have time to do other important things... like read a book.

Ingredients
  

  • Family pack chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • Dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 green onions sliced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper diced

Instructions
 

  • Drizzle part of the olive oil into the bottom of the slow cooker and place the chicken breasts on top. Pour remaining olive oil over the chicken.
  • On top of the chicken, pour the balsamic vinegar. Also sprinkle with salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
  • Then, top the chicken with garlic, green onions, and red bell pepper.
  • Cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours or until the chicken is cooked through.

Side dishes for this meal are just as simple. I like to roast asparagus in the oven and toss together a Zesty Rice Salad using whatever vegetables I have on hand.
