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.

Recipe Notes:

Can I use Italian dressing dry mix?
  • 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 I use a different vegetable?
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
Why can’t I use bottled lemon juice?
  • Bottled lemon juice in recipes can taste bitter.
  • This recipe has been tested with fresh lemon juice. Many reviews who have used bottled instead have not liked the meal for the flavor of the bottled lemon juice isn’t right for this recipe.

      What do you think of fresh lime juice instead of fresh lemon juice?

        I think that lime would work great.

        You will most likely need to cook an extra hour. Keep the lid on.

      Hi there, is thr sodium content per serving or per receipe (4 servings) the sodium content of 771 seems high on all fresh ingredients. I’m newly managing a 2300-1500 MG daily sodium (for heart healhty) and am just trying to navigate through some dinner ideas 🙂

        Yes, it’s for one serving. I would definitely calculate all your sodium your self for the automatic calculators websites use can have errors.

      I have never left a review for a recipe, but here I sit. The flavor is off on this recipe. The oregano does not compliment the chicken and is very overpowering (yes I used dried) on an otherwise unseasoned tasting chicken. I think a different herb would be much better, personally (thyme or rosemary). My husband and kids were not fans, but we ate the chicken as not to waste it.

      I was very excited to try this recipe but very disappointed with how it turned out. The food is very bland and green beans are overdone. It honestly tastes like bad banquet food. It definitely needs more flavor.

      Turned out great, very flavorful. I cooked on low. All ingredients turned out perfectly! Chicken was juicy not dried out, green beans still had a snap to then and the potatoes were just right! I will be addingvto the rotation.

        Can you cook this with frozen chicken breast?

        • Sarah Olson says

          July 6, 2022 at 10:27 am

          No, frozen chicken can make a dish watery and dilute the sauce.

      I made this awhile ago and the family loved it. Reading your recipe notes and read about using Italian dressing mix. So tonight I will try the dressing mix. I’m sure it will be just as good. Oh, I also tried the chicken potatoes and carrots with the garlic seasoned. That was yummy.

      Thanks!

      Thank you for letting me know about stacking the ingredients in a 3 quart slow cooker. Is it OK to put a chicken breast on top of the other two, and will the cooking time still be the same on high if I put the chicken breasts on top of each other?

        A 3-quart? Yes, I think it will fit in a 3-quart, though you will have to stack everything.

        I have not tested, I apologize. I don’t see why not though. You will have add more liquid though.
