Slow Cooker Balsamic Pork Tenderloin is a wonderful keto, low carb, gluten free dinner the whole family will enjoy!
Slow Cooker Balsamic Pork Tenderloin
If you're looking for a lean protein and are tired of chicken, pork tenderloin is a fantastic choice! Seasoned perfectly and seared well before cooking in the slow cooker and you've got an easy weeknight meal or weekend. Using the slow cooker in the winter is always comforting and wonderful, but if you haven't yet tried using it in the warmer months, especially summer, you have got to try this!
When you have wonderful outdoor summer plans like heading to the beach or pool, making this in the morning is ideal. You come home with the amazing, delicious smells in you're kitchen and you're kitchen stays nice and cool because you didn't have to use the oven!! Win win in my opinion!
Slow Cooker Balsamic Chicken
This recipe is an adaption of my Crock Pot Balsamic Chicken. Just like that recipe, this one does not disappoint and provides a nice variety for dinner! Either way, you've got two equally delicious slow cooker recipes. Just add a couple of sides like my Italian Style Coleslaw or Mock Potato Salad or Antipasto Cauliflower "Rice" Salad.
Rest your Meat
Always let your meat rest a good five to ten minutes before slicing. Why? If you slice into the pork or chicken and it hasn't had time to rest, often all the wonderful juices you want, end up releasing all over your cutting board. And that is sad. Don't slice right away, just rest! You'll have a delicious and juicy meal!
