Learn how to make delicious High Protein Slow Cooker Garlic. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Gathering your ingredients is the first step in setting up a successful cooking session. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 10 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 cup of low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup of Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
  • 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley for garnish

If you’re like me and love experimenting, feel free to substitute the chicken with turkey or even a firm tofu for a vegetarian version. The Greek yogurt can be swapped for a dairy-free alternative if needed.

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing your chicken breasts. Trim any excess fat and season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. This step locks in the juices and adds depth of flavor, much like how my abuela would always insist on browning meat for her stews.
  3. Transfer the seared chicken to your slow cooker.
  4. Add the minced garlic, chicken broth, lemon juice, and oregano to the slow cooker. Give everything a good stir to combine.
  5. Set your slow cooker to low and allow the chicken to cook for 4-6 hours. You’ll know it’s done when the chicken is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
  6. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
  7. In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with a ladle of the cooking juices from the slow cooker to temper it. Then stir this mixture back into the slow cooker to create a creamy, garlic-infused sauce.
  8. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker, ensuring it’s well-coated with the sauce.
  9. Let it sit for an additional 10-15 minutes on low to allow the flavors to meld perfectly.
  10. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
