Slow-Cooked Greek Chicken Dinner

I got this recipe from my sister and my family really likes it a lot. It makes the house smell so good! The amount of garlic might seem high, but it's just right. You get every bit of the flavor without overpowering the other ingredients

Ingredients

  • 6 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
  • 1 broiler/fryer chicken (3-1/2 pounds), cut up and skin removed
  • 2 large onions, quartered
  • 1 whole garlic bulb, separated and peeled
  • 3 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon water, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 teaspoons cornstarch

  1. Place potatoes in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Add chicken, onions and garlic; sprinkle with seasonings. Pour 1/2 cup water over top. Drizzle with oil. Cook, covered, on low until chicken and vegetables are tender, 5-6 hours.
  2. In a bowl, mix cornstarch and remaining water until smooth. Remove chicken and vegetables from slow cooker; keep warm. Strain cooking juices into a small saucepan; skim fat. Bring juices to a boil. Stir cornstarch mixture; stir into juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Serve with chicken and vegetables.
