Confession #9 – I couldn’t live without my crock pot. Not just because of my kitchen renovation, either. Even in a fully functioning kitchen, I turn to the crock pot weekly because, well, walking in the door to the smell of dinner already done is so darn satisfying. Here’s another #21dayfixapproved recipe featuring the crockpot and the Veggetti (another gadget I can’t live without) – Balsamic Chicken with Zoodles!
1. Spray crock pot with cooking spray and add boneless chicken breasts.
2. Season chicken with garlic powder, pepper, basil and oregano
3. Add 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar, a can of diced or crushed tomatoes, and 1/2 sliced red onion
4. Cook on high for 4 hours
5. Use the Veggetti to make your noodles and then spoon 1 red container of chicken and 1 green container of sauce over 1 green container of zoodles. Add 1/2 blue of parm cheese if you are feelin’ it.
Dinner. Is. Served.
My one year old LOVES his zoodles!
1 GREEN 1 RED 1/2 BLUE (Optional)

How many chicken breasts do you use? I don’t do the 21 day fix but always looking for healthy recipes!
Nancylynn says
I use about 4, depending on the size! This recipe is a family fav – hope you enjoy!
Pam says
What do you make the noodles out of?
Nancylynn says
Zucchini! Do you have a spiralizer?
Ashley says
How many servings does this make?
Nancylynn says
Four 🙂
Linda Wylie says
I am interested in 21 day fix recipes please… i am doing the exercises but need motivation for recipes.
Nancylynn says
Great! My site is full of recipes – and check out my weekly dinner plans!
Shirl mitchell says
Your recipe looks great! How much of each spice did you use?
Nancylynn says
Sorry about that! 1/2 teaspoon!
Shaina says
How much zucchini do you use? I don’t have a spiralizer, but I have a zoodle that makes the noodles (like a pencil sharpener for a zucchini, LOL)
Nancylynn says
That will work fine! I usually serve each dinner with 1 cup of zucchini…it depends on the size of your zucchini, but that’s usually around 1 small one per person.
erin says
how do you convert this to an instant pot recipe? time?

Shannon Gasser says
I don’t do 21 day fix so the amounts in recipe don’t make sense… what are they?
Nancylynn says
Sorry – this is a very old post and I need to fix it! Anyway – those amounts are just for portioning at the end. I usually make this with 1 lb of boneless chicken breasts and I use the large can of tomatoes. Hope this helps!
Shannon Gasser says
But when you say “red” “blue” or green” can etc… what size is that? Thanks!
Lauren says
Hi – do you used frozen or thawed chicken breast? If I use frozen – how does the cooking time change?
Nancylynn says
Hi! I use fresh, but it’s fine to use frozen! Same amount of cook time – it will just take longer to come to pressure! <3
Dina Harty says
Can this be cooked on the low setting of the slow cooker?
Nancylynn says
I think that would work fine! 6 hours 🙂
Barb says
What is the red container and green sauce?
Nancylynn says
Those containers are for people following the 21 Day Fix. If you are not following the FIX, you can use a 3/4 measuring cup for the red and 1 cup for the green.
