Time 3h20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 jar roasted red peppers ((12 ounces), drained and chopped)
1 cup kalamata olives (drained)
1 medium red onion (cut into 1/2-inch chunks)
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced garlic (from about 3 large cloves)
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 cup feta cheese (optional for serving)
Chopped fresh herbs: any mix of basil (parsley, or thyme, optional for serving (I used fresh thyme))

Steps:

Lightly coat a 5-quart or larger slow cooker with nonstick spray. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper, then place it in the hot pan, seasoned side down. Let brown on the first side for 1 to 2 minutes until golden, then flip and brown on the other side for 1 additional minute. If your skillet isn't large enough to fit all of the chicken pieces, work in batches so that the chicken does not overlap. Transfer the chicken to the slow cooker.
Arrange the peppers, olives, and onions around the chicken (do not place on top).
In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the red wine vinegar, garlic, honey, oregano, and thyme. Pour over the chicken and vegetables. Cover and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours on high or 3 to 4 hours on low, until the chicken is cooked through and the center reaches 165 degrees F. Serve warm, sprinkled with feta and fresh herbs.

JENNIE'S HEAVENLY SLOW COOKER CHICKEN

Jennie's Heavenly Slow Cooker Chicken image

This is the best chicken slow cooker recipe ever, and I've tried a lot of them. I can't remember where I originally got it from; my version has been tweaked a little. I don't like mushrooms, but the mushrooms in the condensed soup are really big and easy to take out. Serve over hot cooked rice.

Crock Pot Chicken - Greek Style image

I'm not Greek, but love the food. This is my take on one of their dishes. UPDATE: After the first two reviews of chicken being a little dry (perhaps breasts too thin), I suggest stacking dinner as follows in the directions:

Tips:

Selecting the right chicken: Opt for bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts for maximum flavor and juiciness.
Seasoning the chicken: Generously coat the chicken in a flavorful marinade or rub before cooking. This will enhance its taste and create a crispy skin.
Using a slow cooker: Set the slow cooker to the appropriate setting (low or high) based on the cooking time and desired result. Always follow the recipe's instructions for optimal results.
Adding vegetables: Incorporate vegetables like potatoes, carrots, onions, and celery to create a complete and nutritious meal. They will absorb the delicious cooking juices and add extra flavor.
Adjusting the cooking time: The cooking time may vary depending on the type and size of the chicken pieces. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
