Slow Cooker Balsamic Chicken & Sausage
From pateryalsa 5 years agoIngredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (don’t hate me for that) shopping list
- 6 fresh (e.g. uncooked, raw) Italian sausage links (sweet or spicy or a combo is fine) shopping list
- 1 white onion, thinly sliced (not diced!) shopping list
- 4-6 cloves of garlic, chopped shopping list
- Extra virgin olive oil shopping list
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning shopping list
- 1 tsp garlic powder shopping list
- 1 tsp kosher salt shopping list
- 2 – 14.5 oz cans organic diced tomatoes shopping list
- 1 – 15 oz can tomato sauce shopping list
- 1 cup water or chicken stock shopping list
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar shopping list
- + 1 tsp Italian seasoning shopping list
- + 1/2 tsp kosher salt shopping list
- + 1/2 tsp garlic powder shopping list
How to make it
- Prep:
- Lay the breasts raw in the bottom of the slow cooker and drizzle with a couple tablespoons of olive oil. Add the first round of seasonings directly onto the chicken (Italian seasoning, garlic powder and salt). Don’t mix, just leave it on top. During the slow cooking process, it seasons the chicken directly for perfect flavor. Lay the fresh (e.g. raw, uncooked) whole sausage links over the seasoned chicken.
- Layer the thinly sliced onion and chopped garlic next. Then pour the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, water/stock and balsamic vinegar into the pot. Top with the second round of seasonings. Again, don’t mix this up. I like the way the flavors develop with this style.
- Cook:
- Cover and set the slow cooker to high for five hours. Not all slow cookers are created equal, so it’s important you have a personal relationship with yours… Mine tends to be really hot and cooks faster than most recipes call for. With that in mind, it’s safe to assume that you could make this recipe on low for 7 hours. Worst case is that the chicken will dry out, so if that happens I’m super sorry!
- Serve over rice, pasta or spaghetti squash
