Step 1: Prepare the Marinade

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. This creates a bold, tangy marinade that will infuse the chicken with classic Greek flavors.

Step 2: Coat the Chicken

Place the chicken thighs or breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated. Add the chicken broth to the slow cooker to help keep the chicken moist as it cooks.

Step 3: Slow Cook to Perfection

Cover and cook on LOW for 5-6 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours. The longer it cooks, the more tender the chicken will become. For best results, avoid lifting the lid too often, as this can slow down the cooking process.

Step 4: Add Final Touches

Once the chicken is fully cooked and tender, add the kalamata olives for extra Mediterranean flavor. If you want an extra burst of freshness, squeeze a little more lemon juice over the chicken.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and fresh parsley or dill for a beautiful, flavorful finishing touch. Serve over rice, couscous, or tucked into warm pita bread for a complete meal.
