Ingredients
- 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 lb. potatoes, cut into cubes
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs, such as thyme, oregano, and/or rosemary
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the potatoes, onion, garlic, tomatoes, olives, wine, olive oil, and herbs. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
3. Pour the mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
4. When the chicken is done, carefully remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the vegetables.
