Slow cooker Chicken with Lemon
One of our favourite ways to cook chicken is in a slow cooker because the meat falls off the bone and the flavour intensifies deliciously! Be sure to keep the chicken bones so you can make some healing chicken broth with them.
INGREDIENTS
- 3 small lemons or 2 large lemons, sliced thick
- 1 onion, roughly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, gently bruised
- ½ cup black pitted olives
- 1 free-range or organic whole chicken
- 2 Tbsp organic olive oil
- ½ tsp Fine Celtic sea salt
