Servings:

4 pounds bone-in chicken breasts (skinned) (You could also use legs, thighs and/or a combination if you prefer)
Salt & Black Pepper
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 pint cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes, sliced in half
1/2 cup chicken broth (I substituted Greek salad dressing)
1/2 cup chopped pitted Kalamata olives
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Ideal Slow Cooker Size: 4- to 6-quart. I used my 4-quart
Spray the insert of the slow cooer with nonstick cooking spray.
Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste.
Place the seasoned chicken pieces in the slow cooker, overlapping slightly.
Sprinkle the chopped garlic and oregano over the top. Add the sliced tomatoes and broth.
Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or until the chicken is very tender when pierced with a fork.
Add the olives and cheese. Cover and cook on low for 15 - 30 minutes longer, or until hot. Serve hot.

Serving Size: 4 ounces of cooked chicken breast and 1/2 cup tomatoes, cheese and sauce.

Variations and Substitutions

I used Greek dressing in place of the half cup of chicken broth because it is what I had available.
The recipe calls for Kalamata olives but substitute whatever green olives or black olives you prefer.
Italian seasoning would be a nice substitution for dried oregano.
Granulated garlic works well in place of cloves garlic.
I used skinless bone-in chicken breasts. Bone-in chicken thighs, chicken legs or even boneless skinless thighs would also work. If you use boneless skinless chicken breast halves I'd shorten the cooking time to 3-4 hours or maybe even less.
I used crumbled feta cheese but a block of feta cheese (crumbled of course), parmesan cheese or goat cheese would also be delicious.
I used sliced fresh grape tomatoes. Sun-dried tomatoes would also work
I wouldn't suggest cooking this great recipe for chicken on high heat. LOW is the way to go when cooking chicken in the crock-pot.
