Slow Cooker Creamy Greek Chicken Pitas
I have been so excited to share this recipe with you because it’s just so tasty AND so easy. My family LOVED this chicken and I’ll be making these Slow Cooker Creamy Greek Chicken Pitas over and over again this summer.
An added bonus is that you can totally throw your chicken into the slow cooker frozen. Anytime I can do that it’s perfect for me since I rarely have fresh chicken in my fridge.
I served my shredded chicken over pitas. I like to buy the Papa Pita brand at Costco. They come 12 in a package and cost around $3.00. I love how soft the pita is! For some crunch and color I diced up some cucumbers and halved some cherry tomatoes. Lettuce is another topping that would be really tasty on top of these pitas.
If you’re not into pitas you could serve this chicken over rice or quinoa instead. If you’re on the keto diet you could probably just make this chicken and serve it plain without the pita. You could also serve the chicken on top of a bed of lettuce or spinach.

What Slow Cooker Did You Use?
To make Slow Cooker Creamy Greek Chicken Pitas I used my 6 quart oval Kitchenaid slow cooker.* I love this slow cooker (you can see me talking about it in a video here). It cooks low and evenly. I love the medium heat choice because most slow cookers that I’ve seen only have the option of cooking on low or high. If you’re going to buy just one slow cooker, this is the one that I recommend.

This is my go to recipe for Greek chicken! It’s a lot of spices if you make your own Greek seasoning but it’s delicious. Works great with vegan cream cheese, too.

Thank so much for the 5 stars!
I have a Gormia pressure cooker, 8.5 dia. I want to make Yogurt but I don’t have a “yogurt” button. I do have manual, dessert, and porridge buttons. Can I use one of these to make “your” recipe for yogurt? Thanks, Marty V.
I am not sure how to do that. I did find this tutorial online that might be helpful to you: https://www.theferventmama.com/pressure-cooker-yogurt/
