Spanish Chicken With Olives for the Crock Pot

Submitted by Geema

"You can use whatever olives are your favorites in this zesty crock pot dish. I use the pimento stuffed, but think that anchovy stuffed olives would be quite good as well."

Very good, simple to make crockpot dish. I used regular rice, so increased the water to 1 cup, skipped the saffron and instead of garlic powder used two garlic cloves minced. Delicious! Thanks for sharing this keeper!

This recipe has all of my favorite ingredients!I just made this in my oven on low heat, sauteed the onions and fresh garlic (in place of garlic powder) with 2 teaspoons cayenne, used chicken broth in place of water, and also cubed the chicken and browned first, also I increased the olives. Very tasty dish, thanks Geema!...Kitten:)
