Crock Pot: Greek Chicken with Feta
Cooker size: 3 Quart
Serves: 2-4
Cook Time: Low, 6-8 hours, cheese added in last 15 minutes.
Ingredients:
1 3 oz block of feta cheese, or equivalent amount pre-crumbled
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 boneless chicken thighs
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
Black pepper and salt to taste
1 14.5 oz can tomatoes, with juice
1 tablespoon tomato paste
Pinch of oregano.
If using a block of feta, place the feta in a bowl with cold water to cover, and set aside (this leaches out some of the salt) If using crumbled, omit salt as a seasoning.
Heat the olive oil in a medium sized skillet and brown the chicken on both sides. While the chicken is browning, grease the inside of the crock with oil or nonstick cooking spray.
Lay the onion and garlic in the bottom.
Place the browned chicken on top, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and add the tomatoes and paste and oregano.
Cover, and cook on low, 6-8 hours.
With 15-20 minutes to go: Add feta in slices, or crumbles, to the crock. Cover again, and allow to melt.
Serve over pasta, rice or cous cous, with a Greek salad.
