Slow cooker Mediterranean chicken is quick and easy to prep and bursting with bright, healthy flavors.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 heaping tablespoon curry powder
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (28 oz.) can whole tomatoes, mostly drained and chopped a bit (see notes)
  • 2 (14-oz.) cans quartered artichoke hearts, drained
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped, to garnish

Directions

  1. 1

    Place chicken breasts in the insert of the slow cooker.

  2. 2

    Combine the curry powder, basil, thyme, salt and pepper and stir well. Season the chicken with half of the seasoning mixture.

  3. 3

    Add the remaining ingredients to the slow cooker (except for the fresh parsley) and sprinkle in the remaining seasoning mixture.

  4. 4

    Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours (or on high for 3-4 hours).

  5. 5

    Once finished, remove the chicken breasts and either chop them or use two forks to shred the chicken. Stir the chicken back into the slow cooker mixture to help soak up the juices and flavors for 5-10 minutes. Then you can serve or let it hang out on warm for up to 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve over couscous, brown rice, quinoa or whole wheat pasta.
