Slow Cooker Balsamic Chicken

This is something different to put on top of pasta.  Now that I am working later hours, I have been using my crock pot more.  This will be a good winter meal for us.


2 tablespoons olive oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, or more to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 onion, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
2 (14.5 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes

Drizzle olive oil into the slow cooker. Place chicken breasts on top of oil and season each breast with salt and pepper. Top chicken breasts with onion slices, garlic, oregano, basil, rosemary, and thyme. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over seasoned breasts and pour tomatoes on top.Cook in the slow cooker set to High until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 4 hours.  Serve over pasta.
