Description
Crockpot Chicken Potatoes and Green Beans combines protein, veggies, and starch in one easy pot for a complete weeknight dinner. Fresh lemon-garlic dressing infuses tender chicken, crisp green beans, and perfectly cooked potatoes with bright, zesty flavor. Healthy, simple, and family-friendly with minimal cleanup required.
Ingredients
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1.25 lbs red potatoes, quartered (about 4 cups)
1/2 lb fresh green beans, trimmed (about 2.5 cups)
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together fresh lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and onion powder to create the lemon garlic dressing.
2. Place chicken breasts in the center of your slow cooker. Add green beans on one side and quartered potatoes on the other, mounding them up if needed.
3. Pour the lemon garlic dressing evenly over the chicken, potatoes, and green beans. Make sure everything gets coated with the flavorful dressing.
4. Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 7 hours without lifting the lid during cooking time.
5. When done, the chicken should be cooked through, potatoes fork-tender, and green beans perfectly crisp-tender. Serve everything together with the flavorful juices drizzled over top.
Notes
Use fresh lemon juice only—bottled lemon juice will make everything taste bitter.
Frozen green beans work too—add them frozen without thawing first.
Use a slow cooker liner for zero cleanup.
Prep the night before by layering everything, then refrigerate and cook the next day.
Add baby carrots, broccoli, or asparagus for extra veggies.
Store in airtight containers and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Do not freeze this recipe.
Swap green beans for broccoli, asparagus, or baby carrots based on preference.
