Recipe of the Month: Slow-Cooker Lemon Garlic Chicken

Happy September! This is one of my favorite months of the year. The weather is starting to change and the leaves begin to change color. The cooler weather makes me want to break out my crock pot; one of my favorite kitchen tools.  I love to cook soups and chili all winter long in my crock pot, but it’s not quite cold enough for that yet. The recipe below is a super easy crock pot recipe that can go with anything! It’s a delicious lemon garlic chicken recipe that I love to serve with a fresh salad and sprinkle of feta. Just throw the ingredients in the crock pot in the morning before work and dinner will be ready when you get home!

Slow-Cooker Lemon Greek Chicken

Ingredients:

For the chicken:

• 4 bone-in (4 ounces or 115 grams each) chicken thighs, skin removed
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 lemons, juiced
• 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese, divided

   

  Directions:

1. Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, garlic and oregano. Place chicken thighs into a small Crock-Pot. Pour lemon juice over chicken thighs. Set the Crock-Pot on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
