GREEK CHICKEN WITH GREEN BEANS

Greek Chicken with Green Beans image

My Greek grandmother made the most delicious Greek chicken and green beans with a lemon-tomato flavor. Whenever I make this slow-cooker recipe, I think of her. The juices from the chicken help flavor the green beans, but the beans can be prepared alone as a side dish without the chicken. -Elizabeth Lindemann, Driftwood, Texas
