Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Arrange the chicken thighs in the slow cooker.
  2. Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, chicken broth, olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Pour the balsamic mixture over the chicken.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours, or until the thickest chicken thigh reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. For a stronger and thicker sauce, remove the cooked chicken and briefly reduce the cooking liquid in a saucepan before serving.

Notes

Use plain balsamic vinegar, not sweetened balsamic glaze, to avoid unnecessary added sugar. You can alternatively cook it on HIGH for approximately 2–3 hours.
