Description
A stress-free, healthy summer dinner that highlights the vibrant flavors of fresh bell peppers and aromatic onions. This Mediterranean-inspired dish uses the gentle power of a slow cooker to tenderize lean chicken breast while maintaining the texture of the vegetables. It is a wholesome, nutrient-dense meal perfect for warm evenings when you want to avoid heating up your kitchen with the oven.
Ingredients
1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed
3 large bell peppers, diced
1 large yellow onion, diced
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
Instructions
Clean all vegetables thoroughly and dice them into uniform one-inch pieces.
Slice the chicken breast into manageable chunks of similar size.
Place the chicken and vegetables into the slow cooker basin as a single layer.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the mixture.
Add the minced garlic and dried oregano, tossing gently to coat.
Cover the slow cooker and set it to the low heat function.
Cook for four hours until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Notes
Ensure the chicken remains submerged in the juices to stay moist throughout the cooking cycle. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
