    Close Up of Greek Chicken over Rice Bowl

    Greek Chicken Instant Pot is my recipe version of a classic Greek flavor of lemon, garlic, cumin, and cinnamon. You are going to love this recipe. It is easy to make and in the pressure cooker, it can be done in less than 30 minutes.

    Greek Chicken Instant Pot

    I simply cannot get enough of this chicken. For this recipe I use chicken thighs. They stay more moist than chicken breasts. I find my self-making it ahead of time just to have in my fridge. It is so versatile because you can serve it over rice or just make a simple sandwich out of it for a quick bite to eat for lunch. It even reheats well in the microwave. Did I just say microwave? This chicken is also great if you are meal planning.

    How to Cook Greek Chicken in Instant Pot

    If you are making this in the Instant Pot it can be made with FRESH OR FROZEN chicken. The process is the same.

    Season the chicken with the salt, pepper, adobo seasoning, paprika, cinnamon, cumin and oregano. Then add a cup chicken broth, garlic, and lemon juice. Add the sliced onions on top of the chicken and then drizzle the chicken with olive oil.

    Put lid on Instant Pot and turn valve to SEAL. Push POULTRY button on Instant Pot and set cook time to 12 MINUTES.When cooking is complete do a QUICK RELEASE of pressure by opening valve while being careful not to get burned. (Use a wooden spoon to turn valve.)Remove chicken with tongs being careful not to break up the chicken into pieces and place on foil lined sheet pan.Press CANCEL on Instant Pot the Press SAUTE and set to MORE setting. Let left over liquid chicken cooked in come to boil for 5 MINUTES to thicken. While waiting for that goto next step.

    How to Cook Greek Chicken in Slow Cooker

    This Greek Chicken Recipe can also be made in your slow cooker. The recipe is the same. The cook time is 6 hours on LOW or 3 hours on HIGH. When the cook time is over you should do the extra step and crisp the chicken up on a sheet pan for a few minutes. This really makes a difference in the flavor and the texture of the chicken.

    Turn your oven to broil and set rack to TOP position. About 3 to 4 inches from heat source. When broiler is HOT place sheet pan under broil for 2 to 3 MINUTES. Watch the chicken the whole time to prevent burning.
