Healthy Crock Pot Recipes: Greek Chicken

This Greek-inspired chicken couldn’t be easier!  You start with a whole chicken, season it with Greek flavors, and let everything slow-cook during the day.

Slow-Cooker Greek Chicken:

• one whole chicken
• 2 tsp. minced garlic
• juice of two lemons
• 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter
• 1/4 C. extra virgin olive oil
• 2 Tbsp. dried oregano
• 2 tsp. dried parsley
• Sea salt and pepper to taste

Combine the garlic, lemon juice, butter, olive oil and brush chicken with it.  Sprinkle with oregano.  Cook on low for 6-8 hours.  Optional:  Cut up onion wedges and add diced potatoes under the chicken.  Add one 15-ounce can low sodium chicken broth.  They will absorb the juices.  DELICIOUS!
