  • 1/2 cup Feta Cheese Crumbled (75g)
  • 3 wheels Lemon Thin circular slices
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley Chopped (8g)

Equipment

  • 1 6-Quart Slow Cooker Preferably with a dark ceramic interior.
  • 1 Chef's Knife For slicing chicken and lemon wheels.

Method
 

Prep and Season
  1. Pat 2 lbs (900g) chicken breasts dry and cut into uniform chunks. Place in the slow cooker and season with salt, pepper, and half the oregano.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk 1/2 cup (120ml) chicken broth, 3 tbsp (45ml) lemon juice, 2 tbsp (30ml) olive oil, and minced garlic.
Slow Cooking
  1. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Cover and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Garnish and Finish
  1. 15 minutes before serving, scatter halved olives, crumbled feta, and lemon wheels over the chicken. Cover and finish cooking.
  2. Sprinkle with the remaining dried oregano and fresh parsley before serving directly from the crockpot.

Notes

Use a dark ceramic crockpot for the best heat distribution and visual contrast.
Do not overcook the breast meat; check at 3 hours to ensure it remains juicy.
