Ingredients

6 to 7 lb uncooked whole roaster chicken
2 Green Peppers chopped
2 large Onions chopped. You can use yellow onions or sweet onions.
6 cloves garlic minced
1 cup Raisins
1 cup Stuffed green olives sliced
12 ounces canned Tomato Paste 2 6 ounce cans
1 teaspoon ground Cumin
Pinch salt
Pinch Black pepper
6 cups cooked rice

Instructions

Spray the cooking bowl of a slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
Wash the green peppers and chop them into small pieces.
Dice the onions into small pieces.
Mince the garlic cloves.
Slice the stuffed olives.
Add the chicken into the slow cooker including the juices that are with it. Be sure to remove the bag of "chicken parts" if there is one.
Next add in the green pepper, onion, garlic cloves, olives, tomato paste, cumin, a dash of salt, and a dash of black pepper on top of the chicken.
If chicken is frozen, cook on high for 2 hours then reduce to low and cook for another 4 to 6 hours or until cooked. If chicken is defrosted, cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, until chicken is cooked.
When the chicken is cooked make the rice.
Remove the chicken and the bones from the slow cooker and place in a large bowl, remove the pieces of chicken from the bones. Once all the chicken has been removed from the bones add the chicken back into the sauce and mix well to combine.
Serve chicken and sauce and chicken over rice. You can then put the chicken and sauce into a large serving dish to serve with rice in a separate bowl or like we do in our house when I make it is plate for everyone directly from the slow cooker.
