Chicken Souvlaki Crock Pot Freezer Meal

1.5 lb chicken breasts

1 green pepper, chopped

1/2 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup olive oil

1/4 tsp lemon juice

2 Tbsp oregano

2 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

If freezing, just toss it all in freezer bag and lay flat to freeze. To cook, toss it all in a crock pot and cook on low for 4-6 hours. Shred chicken. 

We had this twice, first time I served it on tortillas with feta cheese and the second time I used mozzarella. Both were good. I imagine pitas would be tasty with feta cheese too.
