Skinny Crockpot Balsamic Chicken


This is one of my favorites.  I usually put it on before bed and its ready for me to pack in my lunch the next day.   I'm the laziest cook I know, so often I substitute the onions with just onion powder and the garlic with garlic powder.  I know it doesn't taste as good, but its easy when I'm busy! - Amy
Ingredients

4-6 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts (about 40 ounces)
1 medium onion thinly sliced (Not chopped)
4 garlic cloves
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp each: dried oregano,basil, and rosemary
1/2 tsp thyme
ground black pepper and salt to taste
Directions

Pour the olive oil on bottom of slow cooker, add chicken breasts, salt and pepper each breast, put sliced onion on top of chicken then put in all the dried herbs and garlic cloves. Pour in vinegar.

Cook on low 6-8 hours.  After day 10, serve with whole wheat pasta. 

Another popular recipe for this adds 2 14.5 oz cans of diced tomatoes.  I don't care for them, so I just leave them out, but you could add them if you like.
