Slow Cooker Mediterranean Chicken

By Heather

slow cooker mediterranean chicken

Has anyone else gained the quarantine five (or ten)? They say that cooking at home is the key to losing weight, and yet we have only ordered takeout once in just over two months. That was the day we lost power at 4 in the afternoon. Maybe it’s all that Easter candy or the fact that we’re moving around a whole lot less. Either way, we’re trying to get back on track and so we’re experimenting with new recipes that are delicious and healthy. This slow cooker mediterranean chicken fits the bill.

I love slow cooker meals because you get the prep over with in the morning and after you’ve enjoyed your meal there’s less cleanup. Plus it’s so nice when the house smells delicious all day long. I’m a sucker for any recipe that includes kalamata olives because I feel like it adds a tangy dimension to this dish.  You can use any other type of olive or replace them with any other marinated veggies like artichokes or mushrooms to get a similar flavor. 

It is worth taking the extra step to sear the chicken before adding it to the slow cooker to seal in the juices. This was the chicken will be tender and not tough and dry. Make this for dinner, you won’t regret it!

Variations:
Use what you have! I also like this dish with 15oz each of great northern beans and diced tomatoes. It’s a good sub when you don’t have any peppers lying around!
