Sunday Fun-day Slow Cooker Balsamic Chicken

Sunday afternoons I like to tidy the house and make something delicious that will help make Monday easier.  Today I was inspired by my boyfriend, Casey Ardley.  We always try to out due our shelves when it comes to wining and dining. Last time he made chicken he used Nonna Pia's Balsamic reduction and it was so good.

Today I made for you a Slow Cooked Chicken to perfection! I also prepared a chicken stock that only took a few minutes extra to prep, so when I come home Monday night I can easily make a soup.

Tip of the day:
Always buy a whole chicken.  Per kilogram the whole chicken is always cheaper.  It is a simple way to save money.
