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.

Love it!
I’ve been making this recipe for a couple of years now and it has been a staple recipe..especially during busy week nights when I want to incorporate healthy meals for the family. One thing I love to do is add a little Sriracha to my bowl for a little kick. Definitely try this recipe out! Easy + healthy + delicious + kids love it. ❤️
I tried it tonight and it was delicious. I addition onion soup mix and more seasonings. I also added chicken stock to the bottom of the crockpot. I used frozen green beans. Definitely putting this in rotation.
This is a very filling meal but I found it to be quite bland. Definitely needed more spices and salt.
I made about 3x of the recipe: used fresh garlic, a fresh yellow onion, about two cups of chicken broth, 8 lbs of boneless breast, 3 lbs of new Michigan potatoes, 1 lb 6 oz of fresh green beans, pepper, kosher salt, oregono, 1/3 cup of virgin olive oil, 1/3 cup of lemon juice (from a bottle lol), and then slow cooked it in my 10 qt cooker for 7 hours. Talk about good….crazy good. Left-overs are going into a batch of home made chicken noodle soup tomorrow.
Family was attacking it with glee. Glad I made a large batch
Sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing. Soup is a great idea.
