Mediterranean Chicken (slow cooker)

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts thighs will work well too, remove skin and leave the bone in
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large jar marinated artichoke hearts
  • 4 slices sun-dried tomatoes in oil
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/2 yellow onion

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
  • Trim skin and excess fat from chicken. If the pieces are more than an inch thick, fillet or cut at an angle lengthwise to make them a bit thinner.
  • Sprinkle both sides of each chicken piece with salt and pepper.
  • Place chicken in the skillet and cover to prevent splatter.
  • Let cook for 3 minutes, then flip chicken. Cover and cook for 3 minutes more.
  • Chicken should be slightly browned with a bit of pink showing on the sides.
  • Place chicken in a casserole style crock pot.
  • Remove outer skin from onion and chop into small pieces. Add onion to the crock pot.
  • Chop sun dried tomatoes and spread over the chicken.
  • Pour entire contents of marinated artichoke hearts into the crock pot, letting the marinate coat the tops of the chicken.
  • Sprinkle chicken with oregano and rosemary.
  • Cover crock pot and turn to High. Let cook for 2 hours.
  • To confirm chicken is cooked through, internal temperature will be 165. Alternatively, slice the thickest piece and ensure juices run clear. Serve immediately.
