ROSEMARY-GARLIC CHICKEN (Crock pot)

Category: Chicken

1 (5 1/2 lb) whole chicken, rinsed and patted dry
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
20 cloves whole garlic, lightly crushed
1/2 lbs yellow onions, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
1 lb red potatoes, halved (about 14)
1 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped
1 tsp fresh rosemary, minced
1 cups green fresh olives, cracked
1/2 cups fresh lemon juice

Sprinkle the chicken skin and cavity with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper and place 10 garlic cloves inside. In a slow cooker, layer the onions and potatoes and sprinkle with the remaining salt, pepper, 1/2 of the oregano, and 1/2 of the rosemary. Place the chicken, breast-side down, on top of the potatoes and onions in the slow cooker. Sprinkle with the remaining rosemary and oregano. Add the olives, remaining garlic cloves, and lemon juice. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours. Pull meat from the bones and serve hot with the broth and vegetables.
