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!

Winter is here and now is the time to look for yummy home cooked meal recipes. I don’t know about you but I was running out of good meal options and wanted to find another use for ground meat. I decided meat loaf sounded good and came up with an awesome concoction of yummyness!

To be honest I googled and came up with some good options but decided to mix and match to make it more of my own version. Meatloaf is awesome because basically you brown meat and then throw spices in it! Not real hard and you do not have to be perfect but below is what I used for mine. My meatloaf had more of an Italian flare to it. Enjoy!

    2.) Once all items are mixed together spread it into a baking pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. (I used tin foil on mine and it worked great!) flatten the mixture inside the pan evenly.
