Can't see why bad reviews. We loved it but did make a few changes. Didn't skin the chicken (life's too short). Added chopped fennel bulb with the onion and potato, plus used fresh rosemary and thyme along with the oregano and cooked the chicken on its back - really delicious, moist and tender. We served with a Greek salad. Chicken will always look pale in the slow cooker but it tasted so good and the salad added colour. - 30 Apr 2017
Some changes: Lose the lemon! Greeks don't use them. Leave the skin on to keep the breasts moist. Season with Cavender's Greek Seasoning or salt, pepper, garlic, oregano, rosemary and thyme. Don't overcook it! The chicken bouillon is loaded with MSG! I don't let it in my kitchen. - 23 Jul 2011 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Delicious!! The chicken was so tender and moist!! I didn't have any white wine, so I added H2O, however next time I'll just add chicken broth.. And at the end I needed to add a little more salt, but this will definately be made again!!! Thanks for sharing!! - 07 Apr 2011 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
