- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin

Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crock pot.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chicken broth, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated with the marinade.
Layer the red onion slices, Kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes, and artichoke hearts on top of the chicken.
Cover the crock pot and set it to cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once cooked, use tongs to shred the chicken slightly within the crock pot for better flavor distribution (optional).
Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and fresh parsley on top before serving.
Serve the Greek-style chicken warm, either on its own or alongside rice, quinoa, or a side salad.
