Total time: 4 hours, 5 minutes
Ingredients
  • 1 package perdue® fresh boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1/2 cup honey

  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

Directions
  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place the chicken in a 4 to 6 quart slow cooker. Add in the sliced bell peppers and onion.
  2. In a large measuring cup, stir together the balsamic vinegar, honey, soy sauce, garlic and red pepper flakes until well blended. Pour over the chicken, peppers and onion.
