Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 1 tablespoon thyme
- 1 cup Kalamata olives
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red onion, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Season your chicken generously with salt and pepper. Brown it in a skillet with olive oil if desired for extra flavor. Place the chicken in your slow cooker.
- Add the flavors: In a bowl, mix fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Pour this mixture over the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated.
- Incorporate vegetables: Add sliced bell peppers and chopped red onion to the slow cooker for added color and nutrition.
- Finish with olives: Scatter corresponding olives over the top. Their briny goodness infuses through the meal.
- Cook: Set your slow cooker on low for 360 minutes (6 hours) or high for 240 minutes (4 hours). You’ll know it’s done when the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Serve warm: Before serving, squeeze a fresh lemon over the top and sprinkle with chopped parsley for a vibrant finish.
Notes
For best results, cut chicken into uniform pieces for even cooking. Avoid lifting the slow cooker lid during cooking.
