Lemony Greek Chicken

I had a friend come to visit a few weeks ago and as I went to go pick her up from the airport, we plugged in the crockpot and started to make this lemony Greek chicken from Fix It and Forget It Slow Cooker Champion Recipes to go along with a spinach salad I’ll post in a few days. The chicken recipe made some excellent chicken with onion to eat. The chicken thighs were a little bit dry — and the lemon flavor was light in the background. I’d maybe amplify that in the future. I purchased some cucumber tzatziki sauce from Trader Joe’s to eat alongside the chicken and salad.

Lemony Greek Chicken

6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 medium onions, cut into quarters
¼ c lemon juice
2 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp pepper
2 Tbsp olive oil

Grease the interior of the slow cooker.  Place the thighs in the cooker, staggered so they don’t completely overlap.  Tuck the onion quarters around the chicken pieces.  In a small bowl, mix together lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, and pepper.  Pour over chicken and onions, making sure that all of the pieces are coated with the glaze.  Drizzle the thighs and onions with olive oil.  Cover.  Cook on low for 4 hours or until an instant read thermometer shows 165 when inserted in the thickest part of the thighs.
