How many evenings have you come home from work, wishing that something truly hearty, gourmet, and delicious was waiting for you in the kitchen? Too often, that feeling drives us to pick up the phone and order takeout, but you can easily prepare a restaurant-quality meal, minus the typical restaurant amounts of calories and fat, in just a few simple steps. Our balsamic chicken recipe boats only three ingredients and can be tossed in the slow cooker in the morning, only to fill your house with fragrance, throughout the day, cooking to perfection by the time you return home in the evening.
Toss a package of skinless, boneless chicken breasts into your slow cooker, add a jar of chunky salsa, and pour in a half cup of balsamic vinegar. Then set your slow cooker and go about your day. When you’re ready for dinner, lift the lid, and shred the now tender chicken with a fork until it falls apart. The lean protein in boneless, skinless chicken breasts gives you a major boost, and the low-calorie and low-fat salsa and balsamic vinegar add a ton of flavor without tallying up the fat, calories, or cholesterol.
Serve on a multigrain bun or over a bed of brown rice. A green side salad is the perfect accompaniment to this perfect weeknight easy chicken dish.
