Balsamic Chicken Thighs (Slow Cooker Recipe)

Welcome to The Storied Recipe! I host a unique podcast where every guest gives me a recipe that’s significant to their culture, life, and memories. I make, photograph, and share the recipe with you. I invite you to listen to the story of my guest, Adina Bailey, co-Founder of Take Them A Meal as you try her favorite meal to take to others, Slow Cooker Balsamic Chicken Thighs.

This recipe comes to us from Adina Bailey, co-founder of Take Them a Meal. These thighs are Adina's most highly recommended recipe for sending a meal to others while staying sane and getting a meal on the table for your family too!! (The recipe is originally from Sugar Free Mom - see her contact information below.) Here's what Adina says about the dish:

I was introduced to this recipe by Maureen Witmer when she was adding some of her favorite tested recipes to the TakeThemAMeal.com recipe section several years ago. We like to have recipes that are easy to make, easy to take to a friend, and delicious. This recipe has been a favorite of mine since I first tried it. It's definitely my go-to meals when taking dinner to a friend. My family loves it and I serve it. at least once a month. I also like that it meets many different dietary requirements. It's gluten-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free.

Personally, I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of flavor in the sauce. If I were to photograph the recipe again, I would absolutely include garlic and basil in the styling, because these are key to the outcome. The balsamic vinegar needs the softer sweetness of the basil to balance its acidity. And the garlic - well, I love garlic, so to me it's a no-brainer! But the garlic also cuts through some of the sweetness and leaves you with more to savor.
