Crockpot Balsamic Chicken

Sweet, spicy, and crunchy. Yum.

I think this recipe tastes best over something crunchy, like Triscuits!

Not only is this delicious dinner easy to make, it's also extremely affordable. The entire recipe was only $7.66! Who wouldn't love a meal that you throw in a crockpot and leave on your merry way for 5 hours?

I stumbled upon this recipe on Pinterest. I'm in love addicted to that site. I can't get enough of it! I put my own little healthy spin on it by adding some extra veggies and using no salt added diced tomatoes.

Muy delicioso!

This recipe is definitely a keeper. I recommend bringing this as an appetizer to a party. Right before serving, top reduced fat Triscuits with a spoonful of this dish. It's also perfect for a crisp Autumn day like today!

Question of the Day

What's your favorite part about Autumn?

Other than the trees turning into beautiful shades of reds, oranges, and yellows, I love caramel apples! It's never an Autumn without one!
