Slow Cooker Honey Balsamic Chicken

Set it and forget it! My Slow Cooker Honey Balsamic Chicken recipe is healthy, quick and delicious.  The sweet and savory flavors come together to make a healthy dish that is perfect for any weeknight.

In fact this recipe was such a hit, I had to make it TWICE in one week. Now that it is getting dark soooo early, I can’t photograph my meals in the evening. It is dark by the time that I leave work. I had planned to photograph my Slow Cooker Honey Balsamic Chicken the next morning when the light was good, but it was gone! Somebody (I won’t mention any names) had taken it for their lunch at work. Oh well, it was so easy that I just whipped up another batch on Saturday afternoon.
