Ingredients:

1 tsp honey

1 c kalamata olives drained

1 medium red onion cut into ½-inch chunks

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

3 tbsp red wine vinegar

2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs

1 tsp dried thyme leaves

1 tsp dried oregano

½ c feta cheese optional for serving

1 tbsp minced garlic from about 3 large cloves

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

½ tsp kosher salt

¼ tsp ground black pepper

1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Directions:

Apply cooking spray in a 5-quart slow cooker.

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

Sprinkle salt and pepper over the chicken, then toss until well coated.

Place the chicken pieces into the hot skillet, then cook each side for about 2 minutes or until they turn golden brown. You can cook the chicken in batches to prevent overcrowding.

Move the chicken pieces into a slow cooker.

Scatter the olives, onions, and pepper around the chicken pieces.

Add garlic, red wine vinegar, thyme, oregano, and honey into a mixing bowl. Stir until well blended.

Pour the mixture on top of the ingredients in the skillet.

Cover the skillet with a lid, then cook everything for about 2 hours on a high setting or 4 hours on a low setting.

Sprinkle freshly chopped herbs and feta over each serving.

Serve and enjoy!

Notes:

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

Reheat inside the microwave.
