ingredients
6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
8 ounces crumbled feta cheese
3 cups chopped fresh spinach leaves
1/3 cup oil packed sun dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon dried basil
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 can (15 ounce size) diced tomatoes, including juice
1/2 cup oil cured olives, pitted
directions
Place the chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper. Pound to a 1/4-inch thickness with a meat mallet.
In a bowl, combine the feta, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, lemon zest, basil, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well.
Place the chicken on a work surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the spinach mixture on one end and roll up. Secure with toothpicks if desired. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Place the chicken seam-side down in the crock pot. Pour the diced tomatoes over the top.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4 hours. Add the olives. Cook for 1 more hour or until the chicken is cooked through.

I cut the breasts into small fillets and placed them on the bottom of the pot, followed by the spinach-feta combo, with the tomatoes on top... added kalamati olives later... DELICIOUS! And very juicy chicken. Served over brown rice.
I made these when my in-laws came over for dinner, and my dinner was a huge success! Even my very picky Italian mother-in-law liked it. 5 stars from me!

There is one mistake in the writing to be aware of. After 3 c. of fresh spinach, 8 oz of feta and a few other ingredients you'll have WAY more than 12 T of mixture. The recipe states to put 2 T of mixture onto 6 breasts. I laid out all 6 breasts and HEAPED the mix evenly between all six. The flavor was wonderful but we thought the chicken turned out dry. I'd double the olives next time and I would try regular kalamata olives next. I had trouble finding "oil cured olives". I think I'd try cutting the chicken up and throwing all this in as more of a casserole. ? That way the juices would get to the meat better. But, again, the flavor was delicious. I rated it not good for guests for the dry factor. But at a party you'd have an assortment of tastebuds so it might be better there.
