Instructions

  1. Season chicken with salt & pepper and cook over medium heat until skin is browned, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Top the chicken with diced bell peppers, onion, mushrooms, and garlic.
  3. Combine remaining ingredients (except olives) and pour over the vegetables.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 7-8 hours or until chicken is cooked through.
  5. After 4 hours carefully remove the chicken, add olives (or capers) and stir to combine the sauce.
  6. Serve the chicken over pasta with the sauce from the slow cooker.

Notes

  • Optional: After removing the chicken from the slow cooker, place under the broiler to crisp the skin before serving.
  • To thicken sauce, combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water. Add to sauce a little bit at a time and stir to combine. You may or may not need the cornstarch depending on how much liquid your veggies and chicken release.
