MEDITERRANEAN SLOW COOKER CHICKEN
This recipe came from the Hamilton Slow Cooker website and is a family favorite. It takes me 30 mins. to put it together in the slow cooker, either the night before or early in the morning. I serve it with a crusty bread to soak up the flavorful juice and a simple green salad. It's perfect to come home to after a work day &/or for a busy day. It not only tastes good but makes the whole house smell so good too.
