1/2 cup green olives, chopped + 1/2 cup olive ‘juice’
3/4 cup California Dried Plums, halved
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 bay leaf
Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
In slow cooker combine onion, bell pepper, sweet potato, chicken, oregano, olives, olive juice, dried plums, crushed red pepper, bay leaf and salt/black pepper to taste. Sprinkle with vinegar and 1 1/2 cups water or chicken broth. Set the slow cooker on HIGH for 4-5 hours or LOW for 7-8 hours.
Chicken is done when thigh pieces, pricked with a fork at their thickest, yield clear yellow (rather than pink) juice. Garnish with cilantro if desired.
Notes
Flavorful, moist set-it-forget-it chicken with sweet potatoes, olives, dried plums and oregano.
