Peach Chicken in a Cauldron {Paleo//Gluten Free//Dairy Free}

And by cauldron, I mean slow cooker.

Here’s the thing – I used to use the slow cooker all the time. The problem was, all of my recipes included cream of this or cream of blah blah, which was fine then, but now… me no like – for reasons that are obvi. So, here’s a clean one without all that mess. 5 ingredients = budget friendly. 4 steps = easy as pie. (an expression. do not go eat pie.) Here we go.

You’ll need:

1 onion, sliced
3 peaches, pitted and sliced
1/4 cup honey
3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
4 lb chicken breast

First off, I have to apologize for these lame pictures, I have no other resource to take them than my phone so blah. Also, inspiration struck at like 6 a.m. and I didn’t feel like waiting for the sun to come out for good lighting.

Anyways, take the chicken, cut and trim and what not. S & P those suckers and sear them in a hot pan. Then, into your slow cooker.

*Then-a you take-a the onion-a* and saute it in the same pan until starting to become translucent but still gots that slight crrrrunch (personal preference, maybe because it tastes better, but mostly because I’m impatient)

Throw them peaches in there, luv.

Why peaches? Because they were 48 cents a pound at Sprouts and Asians love a good bargain!

Mix these things up and add them to the pan.

Then top your chickahn with the mixture.

Cook on low for 6 hours yo.

End result on a bed of brown basmati rice – ORGANIC *snobby face* (just kidding. I mean it is organic but I’m not snobby about it, I don’t care what you have 🙂 ) + good ole Caalarada (that’s how old men say ‘Colorado’ here) green beans.

Ingredients:

1 onion, sliced
3 peaches, pitted and sliced
1/4 cup honey
3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
4 lb chicken breast
