Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 lbs boneless (skinless chicken breasts)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic (crushed or finely minced)
  • 3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes (left whole)
  • 1/4 cup basil leaves (cut into chiffonade (fine ribbons))
  • Homemade or store-bought balsamic reduction (if desired.)

Instruction

  • Coat the bottom of your slow cooker with oil. Add the chicken, salt, pepper, garlic, balsamic vinegar, and tomatoes.
  • Cook on low for 4-6 hours, or until chicken is cooked through and falls apart easily.
  • Gently shred the chicken with two forks, add the basil, and toss together to gently combine the chicken, tomatoes, juices and basil.
  • Serve over pasta, polenta, or rice, or alongside roasted vegetables and drizzle with balsamic reduction, if desired.
