Let’s walk through this incredibly straightforward slow cooker method:

1. Prepare the Balsamic Glaze Mixture:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.

2. Arrange Chicken and Tomatoes:

• Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker insert, arranging them in a relatively even layer.
• Add the halved cherry tomatoes on top of and around the chicken.

3. Add Glaze:

• Pour the prepared balsamic mixture evenly over the chicken breasts and tomatoes in the slow cooker.

4. Cook:

• Cover the slow cooker securely with the lid.
• Cook on the LOW heat setting for 6-7 hours OR on the HIGH heat setting for 3-4 hours. Chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is tender. Check temperature to avoid overcooking.

5. Garnish and Serve:

• Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken breasts and place them on serving plates.
• Spoon the flavorful sauce and softened tomatoes from the slow cooker generously over the chicken.
• Garnish with fresh chopped basil before serving hot alongside rice or roasted vegetables, if desired.
