Since Lily has become mobile, I have found less time for doing things like cooking, blogging, working out, showering, etc. You get the picture! Little sis is putting me to the test and wanting to be in and around me always [there’s no escaping her now]. So that means I’ve had to get creative and whip up recipes on the fly. Until she can start reading me recipe directions, I think we will continue throwing whatever it is we have on hand into the slow cooker and call it dinner! Or slow cooker balsamic chicken if we need an exact recipe title for this creation.

There’s nothing I love more than the flavor combination of balsamic vinegar, cherry tomatoes, and parmesan cheese. Throw a little chicken in the mix and you have yourself the base for a salad, wrap, flatbread pizza, you name it!

Similar to the Greek Chicken Bowls I shared last weekend, I think this slow cooker balsamic chicken makes a great meal prep recipe. You guys know I’m all about meal prepping with simple shredded chicken. Just take it up a notch with balsamic vinegar and lots o’ Parm. I let Joey and Anthony sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over their plates and let’s just say the floor got a good handful of it too.

I served both toddler and Mom versions with brown rice. Mine was more of a salad and there’s had a side of corn and hummus. Because everything is better dipped in hummus [says Joey and Anthony].
Whether you have a baby following your every move or need a weeknight meal your kids can eat in the car before baseball practice, give this one a try!

    I’ve got this in my slow cooker right now, and it smells so good! I know this is an older post, but I had to comment. I’m loving your site and your advice for us moms of picky little ones. Our 5 year old is way more picky than I could’ve imagined, but (I think) she’s getting better. Willing to try things sometimes now, at least! Our 2 year old was eating everything, but recently started picking up his sister’s food habits. I’ll be trying so many of your recipes…thank you!
