Slow Cooker 2-Ingredient Balsamic Chicken

I have realized that when it comes to crockpot recipes the easier and less ingredients the better. So I’m going to try and come up with more recipes that have 5 ingredients or less in them. This is my first attempt of the new year to come up with this type of recipe. And I must say that I am very happy with the results. This recipe is simply boneless, skinless chicken thighs and a little bit of Newman’s Own Light Balsamic Dressing. You cook the chicken on low for 4-6 hours until the chicken is tender and shreddable. The taste is amazing and I loved eating this chicken on salad.

Can I just tell you something? I absolutely love Newman’s Own Light Balsamic Dressing. My friend told me about it a few months ago and it has made my life so much better. How you ask? This dressing makes me excited to eat salads for lunch every day. And eating salads makes me feel healthier. And when I feel healthy I feel happy. So yay to this dressing! I’ve tried other balsamic dressings before but they aren’t as good. I promise, you will love this dressing. So pay the dollar extra for Newman’s Own brand instead of the store brand and you won’t regret it.

What Slow Cooker Did You Use?

For Slow Cooker 2-Ingredient Balsamic Chicken I used my 6 quart oval Kitchenaid slow cooker. I love this slow cooker (you can see me talking about it in a video here). It cooks low and evenly. I love the medium heat choice because most slow cookers that I’ve seen only have the option of cooking on low or high. If you’re going to buy just one slow cooker, this is the one that I recommend.

Description

Tender, moist bites of shredded chicken flavored with a light balsamic dressing. With literally only 2 ingredients and the fact that it’s made in the crockpot, this recipe couldn’t be easier to make. This balsamic chicken tastes great on salads, over rice or with a baked potato.

---

Ingredients

• 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (I used frozen)
• 1/2 cup Newman’s Own Light Balsamic Dressing, divided

---

Instructions

1. Place chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker. Drizzle the chicken with 1/4 cup of the dressing (reserve the rest of the dressing for later).
2. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours if chicken is thawed and 6-8 hours if chicken is frozen.
3. Remove lid. Drain off excess liquid (mine had a lot of liquid since the chicken was frozen). Shred the chicken.
4. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the shredded chicken and stir lightly.
5. Serve chicken over salad or with rice or a baked potato.
