Delicious chicken with Greek seasoning, an easy one for the slow cooker
Cooking the chicken slowly gives it a chance to be enriched with the different spices and herbs, really bringing out the Greek flavours. By the time the slow cooker is done, the chicken just falls apart.
This recipe is super easy, you can just chuck all the ingredients in the slow cooker and mix up! I served mine up with tzatziki and flatbreads which I homemade and have included as a bonus recipes. But if you don't fancy the extra work or are busy, this can be easily purchased from a supermarket so you are ready to eat when the slow cooker is finished!
I also included a salad made up of mixed leaves, tomatoes and red onion.
