Mediterranean Chicken


I made this crockpot meal for the Nelson's who just welcomed a new baby girl into their family. There have been a couple of births this months and I will post some pictures of the families soon.
I got this recipe from Woman's Day magazine and then made a few tweeks of my own. :)
It is easy and delicious!
