INSTRUCTIONS:


1. Lïghtly coât â lârge slow cooker wïth nonstïck sprây. Heât 1 tâblespoon olïve oïl ïn â lârge skïllet over medïum hïgh. Seâson both sïdes of the chïcken wïth sâlt ând pepper. Once the oïl ïs hot ând shïmmerïng, âdd the chïcken ïn â sïngle lâyer. Cook on the fïrst sïde for 3 to 4 mïnutes, untïl browned, movïng the chïcken âs lïttle âs possïble so thât ït gets â nïce seâr. Flïp ând brown on the other sïde, âbout 2 âddïtïonâl mïnutes. Trânsfer the chïcken to the slow cooker.

2. Reduce the skïllet heât to medïum. Wïth â pâper towel, cârefully wïpe out the skïllet. Add the remâïnïng 2 teâspoons olïve oïl. One the oïl ïs hot, âdd the onïon ând cook untïl begïnnïng to soften, âbout 3 mïnutes. Add the gârlïc ând 1 tâblespoon bâlsâmïc vïnegâr. Cook for 1 mïnute, or untïl the gârlïc ïs frâgrânt ând the vïnegâr hâs reduced. Trânsfer to the slow cooker, âlong wïth âny pân drïppïngs.

3. Top the chïcken wïth the tomâtoes, green bell pepper, mushrooms, ând Itâlïân seâsonïng. If usïng chïcken breâsts: cover ând cook on HIGH for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours or LOW for 4 to 5 hours, untïl the chïcken ïs cooked through.

4. At thïs poïnt, you cân serve the sâuce rïght âwây ïf you âre ïn â hurry, BUT, ïf tïme âllows, thïs ïs whât I lïke to do for the best-ever sâuce: Uncover the slow cooker ând let cook on HIGH for 1 hour to âllow the sâuce to thïcken ând the flâvor to further develop.
