Slow-Cooker Mediterranean Chicken image

This is a very hearty and tasty, good-for-you chicken recipe. I created this to break away from the tradition tomato sauces and Itailian chicken recipes. I use boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut to fit better in crock. The chicken gets so tender it falls apart and I don't have bones to fish out. I have made this with either wine and cooking wine, both are great, or chicken broth if you don't have wine handy. If you are trying to stick to a gluten-free diet, double check your canned ingredients for hidden gluten!
