Method

  1. Trim and wash the split chicken breasts and place them in the bottom of the slow cooker.

  2. Add halved red potatoes, diced carrots, diced celery, and diced onion on top of the chicken.

  3. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, oregano, onion powder, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

  4. Pour the dressing evenly over the chicken and vegetables.

  5. Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours (or on LOW for 8 hours).

  6. Stir the vegetables once or twice during cooking, being careful not to release too much heat.

  7. When the cooking time is complete, remove the chicken and vegetables and let them rest for 15‑20 minutes.

  8. Serve the chicken and veggies with some of the broth, and optionally with Italian bread, garlic bread, or noodles to soak up the flavorful sauce.
