Ingredients:

3 tbsp red wine vinegar

1 tsp dried thyme leaves

1 jar roasted red peppers (12 oz.), drained and chopped

1 medium red onion cut into ½-inch chunks

1 tsp dried oregano

1 c kalamata olives drained

1 tsp honey

Chopped fresh herbs: any mix of basil parsley, or thyme, optional for serving (I used fresh thyme)

2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs

½ tsp kosher salt

½ c feta cheese optional for serving

¼ tsp ground black pepper

1 tbsp minced garlic from about 3 large cloves

1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Directions:

Apply cooking spray in a 5-quart slow cooker.

Place a large skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high.

Add oil and allow it to become hot.

Sprinkle salt and pepper all over the chicken, then rub each until well coated.

Add the chicken into the hot skillet, then sear each side for a few minutes until charred.

Transfer the seared chicken into the prepared slow cooker. Lay them to the bottom.

Scatter the olives, pepper, and onions on top of the chicken.

In a bowl, add red wine vinegar, thyme, garlic, oregano, and honey. Stir until well blended.

Pour the mixture on top of the veggies and spread it evenly.

Cover the slow cooker, then cook everything for about 1 ½ to 2 hours on a high setting or 4 hours on a low setting.

Sprinkle fresh herbs and feta cheese over each serving to garnish.

Serve and enjoy!

Notes:

Place any leftovers in an airtight container, then place them inside the fridge. They can last up to 4 days.

Make sure to slice the chicken into small cuts.
