1/4 tsp allspice, ground
TO SERVE
warm pitas
tzatziki sauce
chopped tomatoes
chopped seedless cucumbers
sliced red onion
feta cheese
pitted greek olives

Steps:

1. Place chicken in crock pot/slow cooker.
2. Mix remaining ingredients in a bowl. Pour over chicken.
3. Cover and cook on low 6 hours.
4. Shred chicken and mix around in juices in crock pot.
5. Serve in warm pitas or over a salad for a Greek type salad. Add toppings like tzatziki sauce (I shared my recipe if you would like to try it), chopped seedless cucumber, chopped tomatoes, sliced red onions, pitted Greek olives, and feta cheese. I do not recommend cutting the pitas open to make pockets, because the meat is juicy and will soak through a pocket making a mushy mess.
