Slow Cooked Chicken & Veggies

Written by Published on Updated on May 31, 2019 in Main dishes, Mediterranean cuisine

It has been a while since I used my Slow Cooker, so I took it out of the pantry, and made this delicious Slow Cooked Chicken with a whole bunch of delicious veggies.  You can’t really see the veggies because of the added Worcestershire sauce. 🙂  Love that sauce but sometimes the coloring of the food becomes so dark.  I do apologise for this because I added a bit more than I was suppose too. 

The traditional Greek recipe calls for fresh tomatoes and tomato paste, no carrots or potatoes, but what I did was I omitted the tomatoes and added the sauce along with the other ingredients and made it a bit of Greek and a bit of Irishhh cuisine I hope that’s ok. 🙂  I think kind of a stew?? My Irish friends will absolutely get back to me with this one I am sure about it. hehehe..but I must say that either way it is absolutely yum yum good.  

Let me know if you try this recipe and if you enjoyed the combination of both cuisines. 🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
