Greek Orzo Chicken

chicken thighs, (about 2-1/4 pounds), skin removed

carrots

chicken broth

lemon juice

garlic clove,

oregano

salt

orzo pasta

green olives

golden raisins

parsley

feta cheese

Forgot to say I omitted the salt since I used chicken base. Added salt at table if needed!

A heavy hand with the salt ?? I seasoned with salt &amp; pepper then browned on both sides before putting into crock pot . I added some little chili flakes for some zip.  I put too much salt on the chicken, then the salt from the green olives &amp; feta cheese was too much. The pasta was seasoned well, the broth was yummy. It was different and tasty, beautiful presentation. I would not make again.

Not a slow cooker fan, how can I cook this in the oven? I also intend on using boneless chicken breasts. Thoughts and advise please.

Great recipe - i seasoned the thighs with salt and pepper before putting them into the slow cooker - if i had time i would have grilled or browned them a bit.  I also added a teaspoon of chili flakes for a kick.  I prefer to toast orzo in a bit of EVOO just to brown it - brings out a nutty flavour.  Great recipe that I'll make again for sure!

Delicious.  This is a recipe that we will make again.
