Ingredients
- 2 lbs shredded chicken

Instructions
- Season the shredded chicken with your favorite Mediterranean spices, such as oregano, thyme, and a pinch of cumin.
- Place the seasoned chicken in the slow cooker and add the chopped collard greens on top.
- In a small bowl, mix the baking powder with a bit of water to create a slurry, then pour it over the chicken and collard greens. This will help keep the collard greens vibrant and tender during the slow cooking process.
- Set the slow cooker to low and let the ingredients cook for 4-6 hours, or until the chicken is tender and the collard greens are cooked to your liking.
- Once done, shred the chicken using two forks and mix it with the collard greens to evenly distribute the flavors.
