Am I close?

Here's a healthy, quick, and fantastic meal that will make your friends "oooh" and "ahhh" while you sit, perfectly relaxing, basking in the ambiance. 

ALERT! This is another make-ahead, crock pot meal...it's gonna BLOW your mind. 


Ingredients:

1 C Quinoa or Couscous (cook when ready to serve meal)
1 small whole chicken
1/2 C Greek Yogurt
1 T Oregano
1 red onion (chopped and diced)
2 C Vegetable broth (or less)
juice of 1 lemon
1 T Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste

for serving: black olives, feta cheese, cherry tomatoes, pita bread


How To: 

Chop your veggies. Mix together the yogurt, vegetable broth, lemon and herbs. Place all ingredients (and chicken!) into a zipper bag. Store in fridge or freezer until ready to cook. If you do choose the freezer, make sure you take it out the day before so the chicken can completely thaw before cooking.

When ready to cook, turn on low 6-8 hours or high 5-7. 

You can slice the chicken, eat it by itself, or pile it high on a pita with extra toppings. Serve with Quinoa or Couscous for a truly Mediterranean Meal.
