    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.

    FAQ

    What are the best potatoes to use in the slow cooker?

    While you can use any potato, petite red potatoes are best for the slow cooker because they have a more sturdy structure that holds up well to slow cooking.

    Can I use frozen green beans in this recipe?

    Yes, you can substitute fresh green beans for frozen ones. Add them on top in the last hour of cooking until they are warmed through to avoid them becoming mushy.

    Can I use boneless skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts?

    Yes, you can definitely use boneless skinless chicken thighs for this slow cooker recipe. Just ensure they are fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F before serving.
