Greek Crock Pot Chicken Thighs Recipes

SLOW COOKER GREEK CHICKEN

Steps:

• Lightly coat a 5-quart or larger slow cooker with nonstick spray. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper, then place it in the hot pan, seasoned side down. Let brown on the first side for 1 to 2 minutes until golden, then flip and brown on the other side for 1 additional minute. If your skillet isn't large enough to fit all of the chicken pieces, work in batches so that the chicken does not overlap. Transfer the chicken to the slow cooker.
• Arrange the peppers, olives, and onions around the chicken (do not place on top).
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the red wine vinegar, garlic, honey, oregano, and thyme. Pour over the chicken and vegetables. Cover and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours on high or 3 to 4 hours on low, until the chicken is cooked through and the center reaches 165 degrees F. Serve warm, sprinkled with feta and fresh herbs.

GREEK CROCK POT CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Combine chicken and flour; toss to coat evenly.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; brown chicken until golden. (Note: I actually did this step in the crock pot, as my crock pot has a rice cooker function that gets hot enough to brown.).
• Place browned chicken in crock pot. Stir in remaining ingredients.
• Cover and cook on low heat setting up to 8 hours or 4 - 5 hours on high.
