Slow-Cooker Mediterranean Chicken image

This is a very hearty and tasty, good-for-you chicken recipe. I created this to break away from the tradition tomato sauces and Itailian chicken recipes. I use boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut to fit better in crock. The chicken gets so tender it falls apart and I don't have bones to fish out. I have made this with either wine and cooking wine, both are great, or chicken broth if you don't have wine handy. If you are trying to stick to a gluten-free diet, double check your canned ingredients for hidden gluten!

  • Cook on High for 5 hours or low for 8 hours. Make sure chicken cooked thorougly.
  • Serve over cooked pasta of choice or cooked spaghetti squash for gluten-free, sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
  • To cook spaghetti squash: Cut lengthwise and remove seeds. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes, cut sides up. Remove from skin with fork and toss with butter, salt and pepper. (This is the easiest and best way I have found to cook it!).

This was a delicious and easy recipe. I used chicken thighs instead of breasts and they turned out very tender. The sauce was also very flavorful and I served it over pasta.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The chicken is always moist and juicy, and the sauce is packed with flavor. I love that it's a one-pot meal, too.
