I was looking for a new slow cooker recipe and this one for Greek chicken with tzatziki sauce is a keeper! It's based on a recipe I found online, but as usual I changed it up just a bit.
Ingredients for Chicken
- 2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 onion chopped (I used a sweet yellow, but you could use basically any kind, I think)
- 1 tsp. (2 cloves) garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- Juice of 1/2 medium lemon
- 1/3 cup water
Ingredients for Tzatziki Sauce:
- 2 cups plain, fat free greek yogurt
- 1 cucumber, finely grated
- 1 1/2 tsp (2 to 3 cloves) garlic, minced
- 1 Tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Juice of 1/2 medium lemon
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Options for serving accompaniments:
- warm pita bread
- red bell pepper
- romaine lettuce or spinach
- cucumber
- tomatoes
- feta cheese crumbles
- kalamata olives
- On top of a salad
Instructions
- Spay slow cooker container with cooking spray.
- Add the chicken at bottom of the slow cooker.
- In a small bowl combine onion, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and water. Pour over chicken.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-6.
- Shred or chunk chicken.
- Make the sauce: In a medium bowl combine all sauce ingredients. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the flavors blend.
- Prepare chicken on warm greek pita bread with desired veggies and sauce on top. Or make a salad, top with chicken, and use sauce as dressing.
