CP Greek Chicken with Lemon Potatoes - 26g Carbs, 4g Fiber, 4g Sugar

From: 2014 The American Heart Association's Simple Cooking with Heart Program
Greek
Servings: 4

1 medium onion (any color), sliced
1 lb. potatoes, chopped into 2-inch pieces
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 Tbsp dried oregano OR salt-free dried Italian spice blend
1 (3 lb) whole chicken, giblet package removed and thrown away
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 lemons (cut in half) OR 1/2 cup lemon juice
2 Tbsp roughly chopped parsley OR 1 Tbsp dried parsley

In the bottom of a large slow cooker, add onion slices, chopped potatoes, chicken broth, and 1 teaspoon oregano. Stir to combine.

Using a knife or your fingers, remove chicken skin and fat from chicken and throw away. Place chicken on top of potatoes (breast-side down, if possible) and sprinkle oregano and garlic powder on top. Pour lemon juice into slow cooker or squeeze lemons and add to crockpot.

Cook until potatoes are fork-tender and chicken is cooked, about 9 to 10 hours on low or 4 hours on high. Garnish with parsley and serve.


Cook Once, Eat Twice: Use the leftover chicken from this recipe for the Chicken and Green Bean Salad for dinner the next day.

Cooking Tips: Using a high setting on your crockpot reduces cooking time. However, if you know you'll be away from home for 10 to 12 hours, setting up the chicken in a crockpot on low in the morning is a great option.

Keep it Healthy: Skin-free chicken is always an excellent choice for a meal since it contains less fat and more protein than beef.

Grocery Tips: Russet potatoes are usually the cheapest
