  Slow Cooker Mediterranean Chicken

Slow Cooker Mediterranean Chicken you can serve over orzo or bowtie noodles is a cross between your favorite Mediterranean appetizer plate and a chicken pasta you’d find in your favorite Mediterranean restaurant.

Hello everyone! It’s Sabrina from Cooking with Points, a recipe blog that specializes in Weight Watchers friendly recipes five days a week. I’ve been a private chef for 8 years and we’re eating healthier this year, so dishes like this Mediterranean chicken have been a fun change for us over all the more cheese and bacon focused recipes we enjoyed last year.

My family’s background is Middle Eastern so these flavors are from my childhood. With just a few easy additions to a classic tomato sauce you’re going to love the flavors of this chicken.

Just a few ingredients, chicken and a 30 second sauce and you’re ready to start cooking!

And if you’re looking more Mediterranean food options I’ve got an easy Greek Lemon Chicken Skewer recipe you’ll love.

The greatest part of this sauce is we use a jar of roasted bell peppers both in the slow cooker and in the sauce. The flavors of the roasted peppers with the herbs and tomato sauce is a whole different dimension of flavors you’ll love.

If you happen to have any leftovers, shred the remaining chicken and sauce and toss with pasta for the best ever leftover meal. You can even toss it with bowtie pasta instead and add cubed feta cheese to make a chicken pasta salad with it.

Plus Karina has a ton of amazing Mediterranean you can also try with similar flavors like her AMAZING Antipasto Cheese Ball Christmas Tree, Pan Seared Fish With Tomatoes & Olives or Loaded Greek Chicken Avocado Salad.

Roasted Red Bell Peppers:

If you’d prefer to make your own roasted bell peppers they’re even more delicious!

• Just add the bell peppers directly to a grill or over a flame on your stovetop until charred and bubbled.
• Put the bell peppers in a large bowl and cover with saran wrap to steam off the bell pepper skin.
• Peel the skins and remove the internal seeds before putting it into a glass tupperware.
• The bell peppers will release more liquids too which are delicious.

Hope you all enjoy this Slow Cooker Mediterranean Chicken and I hope to see you around Cooking with Points!
