Slow Cooker Chicken with Olives and Peppers
"Slow Cooker Chicken with Olives and Peppers is a set it and forget it weeknight dinner the whole family will love. The chicken gets so tender and the sauce is full of salty flavor from the olives. Your whole family will love the salty sauce this chicken creates while it cooks. It makes for the most tender chicken thighs.It is so easy to throw in the slow cooker in the morning and not think about it again until you get home. I like to add the red peppers at the last minute so they don’t get too tender."
