Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 small red onion sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper sliced
  • 1 zucchini sliced
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup sliced Kalamata olives
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Prepare the slow cooker by lightly greasing it with cooking spray or oil.
  • Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour the olive oil mixture over the chicken.
  • Add sliced onion, bell peppers, zucchini, and garlic around and on top of the chicken.
  • Pour chicken broth over the vegetables and chicken.
  • Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or until chicken reaches 165°F and vegetables are tender.
  • Remove chicken from the slow cooker and shred or slice.
  • Return chicken to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the vegetables.
  • Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and olives over the top before serving.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Resist the urge to uncover the crockpot to take a peek during cooking. Keeping the lid on traps both heat and moisture.
  • Check for doneness after 4 hours. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165°F.
  • Leftovers will keep for 3-4 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
