Yield 8 , 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 lb chicken thigh (boneless skinless, about 4-6 thighs)
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup fat free chicken broth
1/2 cup fat free Greek yogurt, plain
1 head cauliflower, chopped
1 fennel bulb, sliced
1 (10 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained
1 red onion, sliced
1/3 cup kalamata olive, drained (not in oil)
1/4 cup fresh oregano, finely chopped
8 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
crushed red pepper flakes, to taste

Steps:

Spray a large nonstick skillet with non-fat cooking spray and set at medium high heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until browned, about 5-8 minutes.
Transfer chicken to a 5-6 quart slow cooker. Arrange cauliflower, fennel, onion, olives around the chicken. Then cover with garlic, lemon zest, oregano, salt and pepper.
Pour in broth and tomatoes.
Cover and cook about 4-5 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low.
Stir in yogurt and artichokes and cook for about another 15- 30 minutes.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. The bones and skin will add richness and flavor to the stew.
Use a variety of vegetables in your stew. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients.
Season the stew generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as oregano, basil, or thyme.
Cook the stew on low heat for at least 6 hours. This will allow the flavors to develop and the chicken to become fall-off-the-bone tender.
Serve the stew with rice, pasta, or bread. You can also top it with crumbled feta cheese or chopped parsley.

This slow cooker Greek chicken stew is a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The stew is packed with flavor from the chicken, vegetables, and spices. It is also very versatile and can be served with a variety of sides.
