Crockpot Greek Chicken

With the recent opening near our home of a traditional Greek restaurant I have become somewhat infatuated with this crisp clean flavors found in the traditional Greek foods.  This Crock Pot Greek Chicken was born out of desire for that tasty Greek food down the street but not wanting to splurge.  A few very simple ingredients and  you have a fabulous chicken served wonderfully with a side of rice and a nice fresh salad with a little Feta Cheese and a light vinaigrette or on a flat bread with a drizzle of dressing as a wrap.

Crockpot Greek Chicken

Ingredients:

• 2 Pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts or Thighs cut into small chunks
• Juice of 1 Lemon
• 2 Teaspoons Oregano
• 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1 Teaspoon Thyme
• 1 Teaspoon Basil
• 1 Teaspoon Dried Minced Onion
• 1 Cup Chicken Broth
• 1 Cup Greek Yogurt

In small bowl mix together oregano, garlic, thyme, basil, and minced onion. Toss in your chicken and coat evenly with spice blend and then place in crock pot.

Pour lemon juice and chicken broth over chicken and cover. I use a single frozen lemon juice ice cube, rather than juicing a lemon. Cook on medium/high heat setting for 3 hours.

Turn on low and mix in Greek yogurt coating chicken well and blending with juices. Cook for an additional half hour.

Serve with rice, pita, flat bread or salad. I like to serve topped with Pico de Gallo.
