This Slow Cooker Greek Chicken is a simple, hands-off meal bursting with Mediterranean flavors from garlic, lemon, and herbs. Perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep, it delivers tender, juicy chicken with minimal effort.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
  • 1 onion, roughly chopped
  • 1½ tsp dried oregano
  • 1½ tsp dried thyme
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. Combine garlic, lemon zest and juice, oregano, thyme, broth, oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  2. Place the chopped onion in the bottom of the slow cooker and nestle the chicken on top.
  3. Pour the herb-lemon mixture over the chicken.
  4. Cover and cook for 6 hours on low or 3–4 hours on high, until the chicken is tender.
  5. Shred or slice the chicken and mix it back with the cooking juices. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for a richer flavor and juicier texture.
  • Add olives and feta for a traditional Greek twist.
  • Include bell peppers or mushrooms for extra vegetables.
  • Use an Instant Pot to cut cooking time to 7 minutes with pressure cooking.
