Slow Cooker Mediterranean Chicken Recipe – Zero SmartPoints
February 7, 2016 2 Comments
I have been on a mission to avoid “sad chicken” for a while now.
I think you all know what I am talking about – a chicken breast cooked in the microwave for dinner. Oh dear.
This chicken breast recipe uses lemons, onions, and garlic to infuse the chicken breast with flavor. Basically, the chicken is poached slowly in a sauce which changes it from the bland and dull to the exciting and flavorful!
You must try it.
I made a lot of this and froze some of it. You an also easily cut this recipe in half if you have a 3 quart slow cooker.
Just to be clear it is zero SmartPoints for four ounces of chicken. Once you start adding bread - the numbers will go up.
How do you avoid “sad chicken”?

½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper
½ cup fresh lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
¼ cup red wine vinegar
4 pounds chicken breasts, boneless and skinless

Remove chicken from the onion mixture. Slice and serve on sandwiches or on a salad.
