Slow Cooker Balsamic Chicken
Servings: 5
Ingredients
- 1 onion diced
- 3 cloves of garlic minced
- 2 Tb of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tb tomato paste
- 1 ½ teaspoon thyme
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 Tb Worcestershire sauce
- 3 Tb flour
- ½ c balsamic vinegar
- 14 ounce can of fire-roasted diced tomatoes, drained
- ¼ c red wine
- 1 c chicken broth
- salt & pepper - about 1/2 teaspoon each
- 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- cooked couscous or rice
Instructions
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion & garlic.
- When the onions are tender and beginning to get a little golden, add in tomato paste, thyme, red pepper flakes, and the Worcestershire sauce. Stir them all together and let them cook for about a minute.
- Mix in the flour.
- Stir in the balsamic vinegar, red wine, and chicken broth. Allow that to cook together for a minute on low heat.
- Remove it from the heat and stir in the tomatoes. Pour the rich goodness into your slow cooker.
- Stir in the wine, broth, salt & pepper.
- Now nestle the chicken down into the darkness.
- Note: Chicken thighs can at times be rather fatty. I take a pair of kitchen shears and trim all the excess fat from the meat before cooking.
- Put the lid on your slow cooker and allow the chicken to cook 6-8 hours on low. Serve this over couscous or rice, whichever you prefer.
- Enjoy!
