  • 1¼ cups balsamic vinaigrette dressing
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh garlic
  • ½ cup grape tomatoes, quartered
  • ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped

Spray 3½- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place chicken thighs in slow cooker, layering if necessary. Top with 1/2 cup of the dressing, and sprinkle with garlic; refrigerate remaining dressing for later.
