Sweet tangy crock pot balsamic chicken recipe that is so easy to make and only has a few ingredients. Serve these moist and tender balsamic chicken thighs over Jasmine rice with a vegetable side dish. 
 
Ingredients 
1 lb chicken thighs or boneless breast 
1/3 c balsamic vinegar 
1/4 c packed dark brown sugar 
1 t minced garlic 
1 t Dijon mustard 
1/2 t rosemary 
1/2 t pepper(optional) 
1 T cornstarch 
 
Directions 
Place the chicken in the bottom of a 2-quart casserole crock pot in a single layer. Sprinkle pepper if using over the chicken. 
In a separate bowl mix the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard. Whisk together until combined. 
Pour the balsamic sauce over the chicken. Place the lid on the crockpot and cook for 3 to 4 hours on high or 6 to 8 hours on low.  
When the chicken is completely cooked use a ladle to scoop the juice out of the crock pot. Pour the juice into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 1/2 tablespoons of cool water. Add the cornstarch slurry to the boiling juices and stir until thickened. Pour the sauce over chicken before serving.
