Easy Chicken Dinner

To make this yummy Crock Pot chicken recipe, just season the skinless boneless chicken breasts and cook it on hig setting for three hours. Then make the brown sugar balsamic sauce on your stovetop and it add to the top of the chicken and cook it for one more hour.

However, you can try this recipe with boneless chicken thighs, if that’s your preference. It will be done in the same amount of cook time.

Feel free to use more sugar if you feel the need.

I understand why people like using their slow cookers so much. You can set it and forget it. You don’t have to use your oven or stove in the summer which is always a good thing when it’s 90 degrees out! Using your oven in that heat is like fighting your air conditioning.

Brown Sugar Balsamic Chicken Ingredients:

Ingredients (see glaze ingredients below):

• 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 tsp allspice See substitution below.
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• salt to taste
• black pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup water

What is allspice?

Allspice is a spice made from dried berries (from Pimenta dioica plant.) The flavor of allspice is similar to a combination of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and pepper. Allspice is used in Caribbean, Middle Eastern, and Latin American cuisines.

What Can I use if I don’t have Allspice?

If you don’t have Allspice, make equal parts cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.

Can I use Pumpkin Pie Spice instead of Allspice?

Pumpkin pie spice has cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. Therefore, you can substitute Pumpkin Pie Spice in this recipe as there won’t be enough ginger in it to overpower the other flavors unless you have a keen sense of ginger.
