Slow Cooker Balsamic Chicken

I absolutely love slow cooker recipes, especially ones as simple as this. It literally takes just minutes to put together, then cooks itself, so it's basically ready to serve when you get home. When I get home from a long day at work I usually have dozens of other things I want to accomplish. Using up my limited time to cook dinner is the last thing I want to do!

Cover chicken with onions & seasoning

chicken will shred a bit as you stir it

We ate this last night over cooked quinoa but it would also be good over brown rice or a pasta. Bonus, we had leftovers and it tasted even better for lunch today.
