How To Make Chicken Potatoes and Green Beans In The Crock Pot

Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel and remove any excess fat. Place the chicken breasts in the middle of the slow cooker.

Assemble vegetables: Trim the green beans and cut the potatoes. Arrange them on the sides of the chicken in an even layer.

Whisk the marinade: To a small mixing bowl, add the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and seasonings. Pour it on top of the chicken and vegetables.

Cover and cook: Place the lid on top of the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or LOW for 6-7 hours. Plate and enjoy!

Recipe Tips

• Trim the green beans to ensure they don't have any woody ends that make the dish taste bitter.
• Cut the potatoes into similar sizes so they cook evenly.
• For extra flavor, try adding some diced onion around the slow cooker.
• To ensure that all of your ingredients are cooked through, use a thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken is 165 degrees F before serving.
• If you enjoy your green beans with more of a crunch, add them in the last hour of cooking on top of the chicken and potatoes.

Variations

• Use different meat: Instead of chicken breast, you can also use chicken thighs or boneless pork chops.
• Change up the vegetables: You can substitute other vegetables in this slow cooker meal, such as carrots, squash, bell peppers, mushrooms, or broccoli.
• Seasoning ideas: Feel free to add different herbs and spices, such as Italian seasoning, oregano, cajun seasoning, or taco seasoning. You can also use fresh herbs instead of dried herbs.
• Swap the citrus: Instead of lemon juice, feel free to add orange or lime juice.

Storing & Freezing

Storing: Any leftovers can be transferred to an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 4-5 days.
Freezing: The slow cooker chicken and vegetables can also be frozen in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Reheat in the slow cooker on LOW heat until warmed through. Keep in mind that the potatoes and green beans may be softer when thawed.
