Braised Mediterranean Chicken – Gluten Free-zer Friday

December 21, 2012 by angelaskitchen 3 Comments

Braised Mediterranean Chicken is one slow cooker dish that doesn’t take long to cook.  Why, you ask, would THAT be a good idea.  Well, I like to have a couple of slow cooker items in my freezer stash that I can pull out in the morning, thaw, then pop in the slow cooker after lunch for an easy dinner on the weekend with minimal prep on my part (not to mention no extra dishes to wash).  Love it!  If you need to cook it longer, switch the cut up whole chicken to all dark meat pieces (such as leg quarters) as they can handle a longer slow cooker cooking time.

I would love to have you join me!

If you have a gluten free freezer friendly dish to share, email me or leave a comment below and I will link it up for you.  I can’t wait to see what everybody comes up with! 🙂

You could skip the browning step of the chicken, however I recommend you give it a try. Browning the chicken adds another layer of flavor and helps make the completed dish look delicious!

I am so happy when someone tries one of my recipes. I do ask, though, that you link back to the recipe instead of posting it on your site unless you have made major changes. I have big plans for some of my recipes. Please remember, recipes are for personal use only. I do NOT give permission for any recipe, article, photo, etc. partially or in whole from angelaskitchen.com to be used for profit on another site, in published medium of any kind, or to be copied in part or whole. You MUST contact me for permission if you would like to use a recipe on a paid/membership website, in a restaurant, store, bakery, etc. for profit even with your adaption (this includes any “clubs”, membership sites, etc. that repackage other bloggers work for a fee, even if the original had been adapted or put into another form). THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING. 🙂
