This one-pot Slow Cooker Seasoned Chicken, Potatoes and Green beans has a homemade dressing/marinade and will be your new favorite healthy dinner.
If you love this one-pot meal you need to see my Garlic Butter Chicken and Veggies, that recipe has the same easy one pot meal concept as this recipe.
I’ve seen oven versions of this recipe, but most include an Italian dressing seasoning packet.
Instead of using a seasoning packet to flavor the sauce in this dish, I make a simple mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and dried seasonings.
How to make a one pot chicken dinner:
- Boneless skinless chicken breasts – Can use chicken thighs or tenders.
- Fresh green beans – Frozen works well too.
- Red Potatoes – Cut into quarters or about 1/2 inch pieces.
- Homemade Italian dressing – Super quick to make, see my recipe below.
For the homemade dressing:
- Fresh lemon juice
- Olive oil
- Oregano
- Salt and pepper
- Onion powder
- Minced garlic
Can I use lemon juice out of a squeeze bottle?
- No. This recipe isn’t the time or place to use squeeze bottle lemon juice; the recipe will taste off if you use it.
- Lemons are cheap, be sure to grab them at the store.
Can I use a different vegetable than green beans?
Yes! If you aren’t a green bean fan, then try one of these substitutes.
- Broccoli
- Asparagus
- Canned or fresh corn
- Baby carrots or sliced carrots
- Extra potatoes
Can I use the Italian dressing mix instead of making the homemade dressing?
- Yes! You can forgo all the dressing ingredients and drizzle a half cup of butter over the seasoned chicken, potatoes and green beans then sprinkle an Italian dressing mix over.
- Follow the same cooking directions below.
- You can find the Italian dressing mix on the salad dressing aisle next to the ranch dressing packets.

Nice healthy recipe! I doubled the chicken and potatoes for 4.5 hours on high. Ended up cooking the veggies separate, but I am wondering what would happen had I included them.
I think they would have been fine!
Such a great recipe!! My family LOVES it. This recipe is already a staple for us. I make this every week. It’s so easy to throw together and it turns out amazing.
Can I use Bottle of Italian dressing instead of dry pkt? Our store doesn’t have it
Yes, that will work fine.

Hey Ms Sarah
Nice dinner… I marinated my chicken thighs with uvoo, and a heavy Italian seasoning, little sea salt and fresh ground pepper over night. Added potatoes too. Also added minced garlic to the greens. Added every else, plus quarter cup of chicken stock……Fantastic!!!..
Can frozen chicken breast tesnders be used instead of fresh?
Can I use bone in chicken breasts or thighs?
Yes, those will work fine.
Thank you, I’ll try it.
I made this recipe.. It was delicious! I added a tsp of paprika when it was done. I chopped up some fresh thyme, about a tablespoon to the sauce. Sprinkled a couple tablespoons of Parmesan cheese to it as well.
Delicious!
This looks so good! Could I swap for frozen green beans instead?
Yes! That works great!
Can I do this in the insta pot?
I’m sure you can. I have not tested it there.
Could you use pork chops instead of chicken breasts?
Yes, pork chops will work fine.
Could you use boneless thighs instead of breast
Yes, thighs work great.
Do you put any water in it? Or just the lemon mixture?
Just the lemon mixture.
Hi Sarah, the Instacart option for lemon juice picks BOTTLED rather than a lemon, just FYI.
Yeah, you’ll have to change that! I apogolize.
Can we swap the red potatos for sweet potatos?
Yes, that will work great.
Have you or anyone used a substitute for the garlic cloves like…garlic flakes(dried/dehydrated minced garlic),granulated,or pwdered garlic?
Yes, garlic powder is great in all of my recipes where I use fresh garlic.
I use low FODMAP garlic-infused extra virgin olive oil and it works perfectly for garlic flavour.
