Basil Chicken With Feta Slow Cooker Recipe 465 Food

SLOW COOKER CREAMY TOMATO BASIL CHICKEN

Steps:

• Add tomatoes and pasta sauce to a 3-6 quart slow cooker.
• Whisk together cream and corn starch and add to the slow cooker. Stir in garlic, salt, basil and pepper.
• Add chicken breasts and press down into the sauce.
• Cook on low for 3-5 hours, until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F. The exact cook time will depend on your slow cooker -- a fuller slow cooker will take longer to cook, so a larger one will cook faster.
• Stir in fresh basil and serve over pasta, rice, or with a salad and veggies!

SLOW COOKER GREEK CHICKEN

Steps:

• Lightly coat a 5-quart or larger slow cooker with nonstick spray. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper, then place it in the hot pan, seasoned side down. Let brown on the first side for 1 to 2 minutes until golden, then flip and brown on the other side for 1 additional minute. If your skillet isn't large enough to fit all of the chicken pieces, work in batches so that the chicken does not overlap. Transfer the chicken to the slow cooker.
• Arrange the peppers, olives, and onions around the chicken (do not place on top).
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the red wine vinegar, garlic, honey, oregano, and thyme. Pour over the chicken and vegetables. Cover and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours on high or 3 to 4 hours on low, until the chicken is cooked through and the center reaches 165 degrees F. Serve warm, sprinkled with feta and fresh herbs.

LEMON FETA CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place chicken in a 13x9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Pour lemon juice over chicken; sprinkle with feta cheese, oregano and pepper., Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until a thermometer reads 165°.

BASIL CHICKEN WITH FETA (SLOW COOKER)

Steps:

• I use skin-on, bone-in chicken. I browned the chicken and froze it, and put it in a 4 quart slow cooker frozen. Stephanie used skinless boneless and just put it in the slow cooker.
• Add the entire can of tomatoes, the chickpeas (rinse and drain if using canned - I cook from dried), green olives, basil leaves, and feta cheese. (I found 4 ounces to be enough, she used 8 ounces).
• Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours. Mine was done without falling apart at 7 hours and I would test at 5 hours if using not-frozen chicken. Serve chicken and the copious juices over rice or couscous.

FETA CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Place chicken breasts between 2 pieces of waxed paper. Gently pound chicken with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4 inch thick; remove wax paper. Place 1 ounce of feta cheese in the center of each chicken breast, and fold in half.
• Spread 2 tablespoons bread crumbs in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange chicken in the dish, and top with remaining bread crumbs.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.

BASIL & FETA STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST

Sprinkle on green olives, add the basil leaves(I left my leaves whole) and crumble on the feta cheese. Cover, and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for about 3 hours.
