Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can use boneless skinless chicken thighs instead of the boneless skinless chicken breasts called for in the recipe. Keep in mind that the calorie and fat content will be higher when you use dark meat chicken.
We love serving this chicken inside pita bread but it is also good served over rice or couscous or tucked into a wrap or sandwich.

Crock-Pot Marinated Greek Chicken Recipe
Ingredients
- 16 Ounces Plain Greek Yogurt
- 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Dried Oregano
- 4 Teaspoons Garlic Powder
- ½ Teaspoon Dried Thyme
- ½ Teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ½ Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- ¼ Teaspoon Dried Parsley
- 2 Pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, thyme, salt, pepper and thyme.
- Add the chicken breasts to a gallon sized zippered food storage bag.
- Pour the yogurt mixture over the chicken in the bag.
- Seal the bag and massage the chicken and yogurt through the bag to coat all the chicken in the marinade.
- Place bag in the refrigerator and let the chicken marinate for at least 4 hours but preferably overnight.
- Empty the contents of the bag into a 5 to 6 quart slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours or until chicken is cooked through.
Notes
- Place all ingredients into a 1 gallon size zippered freezer bag OR FoodSaver bag.
- Place bag on flat surface and seal bag closed while pressing out as much excess air as possible OR use your FoodSaver sealing system to vacuum seal the bag closed.
- Label bag with date prepared, name of recipe, ingredients and cooking instructions.
- Lay bag flat in freezer and allow to freeze for several hours. At that point you can stand the bags upright in your freezer if desired.
- Remove freezer meal bag from freezer and place either in refrigerator overnight OR in a clean kitchen sink filled with cool water for several hours just until the freezer meal is partially thawed enough to dump the contents of the bag into the slow cooker.
- Cook according to the recipe directions adding 1 additional hour cooking time (in this case 5 to 7 hours on LOW from the partially thawed state ).

Yum! This sounds so delicious and easy! Definitely pinning this to my crock pot board so I remember to try it soon. Thanks for sharing!
Those vegetables on the side look really good, too! Where can I fend the recipe for them?
Sorry Kristie, we don’t have a recipe for the vegetables pictured. We just roasted up some veggies because the plate needed a pop of color. If memory serves we did potatoes and multi colored carrots, drizzled with olive oil and seasoned with whatever spices sounded good. Popped them on a baking sheet in the oven for 30-40 minutes at 375 F.
Hope that helps!
