Low Carb Slow Cooker Balsamic Chicken Ingredients
– Chicken thighs: Get chicken thighs with bone and skin on. You can use boneless and skinless if you prefer, but the meat will not be as juicy.

– Italian seasoning: Italian seasoning a good herb blend to use in this crockpot chicken dish.
– Salt and pepper: Freshly ground salt and pepper.
