The colder weather is finally here in Texas and that makes me super happy! I am so ready for sweaters, hot chocolate, and yummy comfort food! This is the time of year that I dust off my crockpot and start meal prepping my dinners. There is nothing like a good dump and go recipe that is easy and tasty.
I recently found this amazing Mediterranean chicken recipe and had to try it. This is a very delicious chicken dish but I do have some recommendations and side notes. I will have them in the directions below so you can be sure to have this recipe come out amazing and full of flavor. I hope you enjoy if you try it let me know!
Mediterranean Crockpot Chicken
Mediterranean Crockpot Chicken, a super easy dump and go recipe full of flavor!
Servings 4
Calories
Equipment
- Crockpot
- Slow cooker
Ingredients
- 4 medium to large chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp crushed garlic
- 2 tbsp capers
- 1 red onion
- 1 tbsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 lemon or 2 tbsp of lemon juice
- 1 jar roasted red peppers
- 1 can olives black or green
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 packet dry Italian seasonings
Instructions
- Season each chicken breast with black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder on both sides and place at the bottom of the crockpot.
- Pour the juice of one lemon over chicken or a few squirts of lemon juice.
- Open and pour the packet of Italian seasonings onto the top of the chicken. Make sure to get it on all of the chicken breasts.
- Scoop the garlic and the capers on top of the chicken
- Add in the additional ingredients of red peppers, onion, olives, and sundried tomatoes.
- I would recommend adding a bit more lemon juice, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the top of the ingredients and then cook on high for 4 hours. You can also cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
Notes
Make sure to season the chicken well and pour the Italian seasoning packet onto the chicken. I poured mine on top after I added in all the ingredients and the chicken came out a bit bland.
Make sure you also add the lemon to the chicken and again on top of all ingredients. Very tasty but may need to add in pepper and garlic a bit here and there.
Season to taste!
