Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by taking your chicken breasts and sprinkling them generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
  2. In a small skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering, then add minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Carefully place the seasoned chicken breasts in the slow cooker, pour the sautéed garlic along with its oil, balsamic vinegar, and fig jam.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat for 4-6 hours. Monitor until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. About 15 minutes before serving, uncover the slow cooker and sprinkle crumbled goat cheese generously atop the chicken.
  6. Once the cheese has melted, remove the chicken, drizzle with the fig jam sauce, and garnish with thyme before serving.
