` "Fall"samic Chicken - Chez Chelsea

“Fall”samic Chicken

But really…Crockpot Balsamic Chicken.

Fall has been here for awhile now, but it finally feels like it. There is an actual need for boots, umbrellas, and hot drinks to keep warm. Oh yes and to cuddle up with puppies.

The best way to embrace this cold weather is to keep cozy with some comfort food. This dish will fill you up, warm you up, and pick you up.

I found this recipe on Delish. To make it a bit more healthy, I changed a few things in the recipe like sweet potatoes instead red potatoes AND just a little less honey.
