Instant Pot Low Carb Greek Chicken

Don’t stress out over having no “real” dinner plans. This meal will be on your table quicker than you change out of your work clothes! 

We recently started on a low carb diet and we use a lot of the meals in my Low Carb Freezer to Slow Cooker & Instant Pot Meal Plan.  This was one of the first ones I tried and I absolutely loved it!  I managed to lose 12 pounds in my first month of being on this plan and it was so easy to lose!  

Mmm, the feta cheese that is crumbled over the top and the black olives are just dreamy tasting!  Looking at this picture makes my mouth water, dreaming of this amazing recipe again and again, lol.  

What would be a good side dish to this low carb Greek Chicken recipe?

Great question. Adding a nice side salad in with this meal would be a good choice! Another good option would be a nice portion of steamed veggies as well. Just be careful not to choose the starchy veggies like corn, potatoes or peas.  Use dark green vegetables  instead.  Chicken really goes well with anything so you can add most any side dish to this meal. 

Can I add any extras to this Instant Pot Low Carb Greek Chicken?

Sure! If you want to add in some extra’s, go for it. Toppings are never really a bad thing, right?  Unless of course you’re trying to eat low carb and you add to many carbs, so be careful to keep that in mind.  You can add on some cheese, or parmesan chips or even just a bit of salt and freshly cracked pepper. Treat your tastebuds to what they like, within reason of course!

Can you make this Instant Pot recipe spicy?

You can, but I wouldn’t.  The flavors of Greek chicken don’t really meld well with spicy.   If you decide to try it anyway, I’d consider adding in some cayenne pepper. Just keep in mind that it’s always a good idea to do this to your own bowl separately so the entire dish doesn’t have to be spicy for everyone else as well. 

How Many Carbs Does this Greek Chicken Recipe Have?

You can check the nutrition data at the bottom, but it has 9 grams of carbs and 3 grams of fiber.  If you’re doing net carbs, that means that you will deduct the amount of fiber from the total amount of carbs, leaving only 6 net carbs per serving when cooking this recipe.  Be careful not to go overboard eating all of the black olives (like I was tempted to do), because that will add an additional amount of carbs to your totals.

Meet the Robinsons

My son Colton just turned 8 years old.  He had his typical Angel Food Cake with strawberries and whipped cream.  It’s also my favorite, so I love it when he follows in his mama’s footsteps!  I can hardly believe he’s already 8.  I started this blog when he was first born… and it seems to have gone so fast!

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
