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. Or if you need just a recipe for chicken breasts, try my easy chicken breast 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.

Can bottled Italian Dressing be used?
Yes!
I made this for dinner tonight and I followed the recipe to a T . Everything cooked well the potatoes in particular were cooked perfectly. However it was so sour from the lemon juice that my family and I couldn’t eat it and it ended up going to the dogs.
Ok, the sarcastic comment about changing the recipe cracked me up.. but for real, I have twin toddlers and store trips are no fun sometimes and I have everything to make this except instead of lemons, I have limes. Any guesses on if it will turnout ok?
I think it may be ok, you may want to put a touch less of juice. Maybe some chicken broth instead.
Absolutely Delicious!! We eat a lot of chicken and this is the only recipe that we eat often!!
a must try
This was so good!!! Thank you so much.nMy family loved it. I’ve made it three times in 2 weeks. It is in the monthly rotation.
Not a fan. Sounded good – picture looked good- but just a weird taste. Disappointed.
I used frozen breaded chicken nuggets instead of chicken breasts, frozen french fried potatoes instead of fresh red potatoes, some shredded lettuce I had sitting in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks instead of green beans, bottled orange juice instead of fresh lemon juice, some used motor oil I had on hand instead of olive oil, I used Mrs. Dash instead of oregano because I felt like it, I left out the salt cuz I didn’t have any, I put in 1/16 of a teaspoon of pepper instead of 1/4 teaspoon because I don’t like pepper, I increased the amount of onion powder to half a cup instead of 1/4 teaspoon because I LOVE onion powder, and instead of mincing the garlic cloves I mashed them with my feet.
I did not like this recipe AT ALL and I can’t figure out why not! It sounded so good!
I hope you have found my review of THIS recipe helpful.

Perfect review! Don’t review if the recipe wasn’t followed!!
Sounds like the recipe you didn’t like was your own recipe. Maybe next time follow the original recipe & perhaps you might like that one instead. Pretty strange you couldn’t figure out why you didn’t like the recipe
Did you notice the /s at the end of my post? If so, do you know what it means? You can look it up.
This comment was meant to convey my dislike of the fact that so many people claim to be reviewing a recipe but then go on to discuss all of the changes they made to it. It’s ubiquitous, but nevertheless it’s a pet peeve of mine.
I need to give up on sarcasm on the internet. No matter how obvious I believe it is that it IS sarcasm, (I mean, come on, used motor oil , one half cup of onion powder, mashing garlic cloves with my feet, and changing every single ingredient isn’t obvious? ), and no matter that I actually denote that it is sarcasm, somebody out there will take it seriously.
Probably because you completely changed thecrecipe
Janice, You didn’t follow the recipe! Don’t review if you didn’t follow the recipe.
