Crock Pot Mediterranean Chicken
My whole family raved about this chicken. Crock Pot Mediterranean Chicken is tender and flavorful. Like they loved it so much that I wasn’t able to get pretty plated pictures before they gobble it all up! I just have the one picture in the crock pot.
So often crock pot chicken gets super dry to the cooking time on this chicken kept it moist. I am making more and more mediterranean dishes because they are vibrant, fresh, healthy and delicious. Serve Crock Pot Mediterranean Chicken with roasted new potatoes or fresh organic rice and my Fresh Chickpea and Veggie Salad with Vinaigrette.
I hope you love this chicken as much as we did!
