Crockpot Chicken with Potatoes and Green Beans

I have always loved making Crockpot Chicken with Potatoes and Green Beans. The ease of this one-pot meal is unbeatable, especially when using a Slow Cooker. It creates a perfectly Seasoned Chicken with a homemade dressing or marinade,

which makes it a favorite for a healthy dinner. Inspired by similar dishes like Garlic Butter Chicken and Veggies, this recipe beautifully embodies the one-pot meal concept. Instead of relying on a seasoning packet,

I mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and dried seasonings to enhance the flavor. This simple yet delicious sauce makes the chicken breasts tender and flavorful, much like my other easy chicken breast recipe. Whether it’s the mixture of ingredients or the convenience, this dish is a delight.

What is Crockpot Chicken with Potatoes and Green Beans?

Ingredients you’ll need

For this dish, you’ll need the following ingredients:

•             Chicken – I prefer using boneless, skinless chicken breasts as they cook evenly and remain juicy.

•             Green Beans—For the best texture, Opt for fresh green beans, though frozen ones will also work in a pinch.

•             Red-skin potatoes—Scrub them well. Leave the skins on for added nutrients and flavor, then cube them.

•             Lemon Juice—Freshly squeezed lemon juice adds a vibrant flavor, but bottled lemon juice is a handy substitute.

•             Olive Oil – A good quality olive oil enhances the overall taste.

•             Montreal Chicken Seasoning – This blend, containing garlic, salt, onion, pepper, and paprika, is perfect for seasoning.

•             Lemon Pepper – One of my favorite spices for an extra zesty kick.

•             Salt & Pepper – Basic yet essential seasonings.

•             Onion Powder – Adds a subtle onion flavor without the texture of fresh onions.

•             Minced Garlic – You can use two cloves of fresh or minced garlic packed in oil for convenience.

Notes

When preparing Crockpot Chicken with Potatoes and Green Beans, searing the chicken breasts first helps develop a rich flavor and appealing color, but if you are short on time, you can skip this step.

Any leftovers can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days and are delicious when heated. For cooking, after 1.5 hours on high, check that the chicken is thoroughly cooked using an instant meat thermometer to ensure it reaches at least 165 degrees F.

Once the green beans are added, cook them together for another 30 minutes. The nutrition information provided is for ¼ of the full recipe.
