I used chicken thighs, but removed the skin before cooking them. I also skipped the olives (personal taste).

I'm not a big green olive fan, and I had mushrooms, so I used those. Someone mentioned garlic, and I had some chopped onion ready, so I threw that it. Delicious. It occurred to me that artichoke hearts would be good in this too if it needed to be even more fancy! Thanks for another great recipe.bostonredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10970050506013481341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-30543623143908881192013-05-06T20:30:00.436-07:002013-05-06T20:30:00.436-07:00Hi KatrinkaJane, thank you for the props! ;-)

You are a rock star at our house -- and many of my fellow beauty consultants', because I keep sharing you!<br />When you say to add 45 min if frozen chicken is used, is that for the low time or high?

I thought it was missing a flavor, though, so upon a second crocking, I added about 8 cloves of garlic to the top, sort of pushed them down a little, evenly dispersed among the feta/olives.
