Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cups Balsamic vinegar
• 0.5 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoons Dried basil
• 1 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the Crock Pot in a single layer.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, chicken broth, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 4

Cover the Crock Pot with the lid and set it to cook on LOW for 4 hours (or HIGH for 2 hours).

Step 5

Optional: After cooking, remove the chicken and pour the liquid into a small saucepan. Heat the liquid over medium heat for 5-8 minutes to reduce and thicken into a glaze. Pour the glaze back over the chicken.

Step 6

Serve the balsamic chicken warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Pair it with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a side salad for a complete meal.
