Mediterranean Crockpot Chicken

Mediterranean Crockpot Chicken, a super easy dump and go recipe full of flavor!
Prep Time20 minutes
Cook Time4 hours
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Mediterranean
Keyword: chicken, crockpot, dump and go, mediterrean
Servings: 4

Author: pgu

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!
