There’s nothing quite like a set-it-and-forget-it meal, and this Slow Cooker Balsamic Chicken delivers on all fronts. It’s rich with just a touch of sweetness, and loaded with herby goodness. The chicken simmers away, soaking up all that flavor while you go about your day. Can’t beat that! The final results are perfectly tender and juicy, exactly what you want from a slow cooker recipe. If you need a new easy dinner recipe, give this one a try!

While this dish may be simple to make, the flavor is anything but basic. A mix of oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, and red pepper flakes gives it plenty of warmth, while black pepper and a pinch of salt round everything out. Then, a sprinkle of brown sugar adds a touch of sweetness that really brings out the balsamic flavor. It seriously tastes like the kind of meal you spent hours on in the kitchen when, in reality, your slow cooker did all the heavy lifting.

Serve the chicken whole with roasted veggies and mashed potatoes, or shred it up and serve it on buns for an easy sandwich option. It’s also great over a simple salad or even tossed with pasta for a quick and flavorful dinner. However you serve it, this dish is sure to be a winner.
