Recipe type: Slow Cooker
Cuisine: American, but Greek/ Italian inspired
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 2 green bell peppers, in strips
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 2 t olive oil
  • 5-8 chicken thighs or drumsticks, rinsed (and patted dry)
  • ¼ t black pepper
  • ½ t salt
  • 1-2 cloves of minced garlic or ½ t garlic powder
  • 1 T dried oregano
  • ½ t dried rosemary
  • 1 box/ bag gluten-free pasta (we like Trader Joe's brown rice pasta)
  • 2 oz feta cheese (optional, but delicious)
  • chopped fresh parsley (optional, but also delicious)
Instructions
  1. Coat slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Add pepper strips and chopped onions.
  3. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat, until hot. Brown chicken pieces (with skin on) on both sides. Transfer to slow cooker--chicken is fine to overlap here.
  4. Add all spices, except parsley (ie: pepper, salt, garlic, oregano, rosemary).
  5. Cover. Cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  6. Cook pasta according to directions, just before you'd like to eat.
  7. Top pasta with chicken, peppers and onions, fresh parsley, and feta.
  8. Enjoy!
