Instructions
In the crock pot combine the balsamic vinegar, coconut aminos, garlic olive oil, dijon mustard and salt.
Add the chicken to the crock pot with the bay leaf.
Put the lid on the crock pot and turn the heat to high for 3.5 hours or low for 6 hours.
Once the chicken is done cooking, use 2 forks to shred (if you would like). Stir the chicken back into the juices in the crock pot (they should all get absorbed).
Instant Pot Balsamic Chicken
In the instant pot combine the balsamic vinegar, coconut aminos, garlic olive oil, dijon mustard and salt.
Add the chicken to the crock pot with the bay leaf.
Add the lid, close the vent to sealing and put on high pressure for 13 minutes (15 minutes if you are doubling the recipe).
Allow to naturally release pressure if you have the time, otherwise you can quick release after the chicken is done cooking.
Using 2 forks, shred the chicken if you would like. Stir back into the juices.
Equipment
Crock Pot or Instant Pot
Notes
Can you use frozen chicken?
See notes in the post. Cooking chicken from frozen in the slow cooker can cause the chicken to be at an unsafe temperature for an extended period of time, so this will be up to you.
You can defrost the chicken overnight in the fridge or use the Instant Pot to cook from frozen to be safe.
Store leftovers in the fridge in a well sealed container for 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
