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.

I pinned this recipe a few days ago & made it today. Gotta tell you, wow. I seasoned the chicken with S& P & Kickn’Chicken seasoning made by Weber & seared it first. Cubed 3 red potatoes & used fresh green beans. Due to time constraints, I drizzled some Annie’s Lemon & Chive dressing on it & 4 hours on high. It was fabulous, not dry at all, husband loved it. Thank you!

Can you cook this in a round crock pot? I dont have an oval.
Sarah Olson says
Yes! would work fine.
Casey says
I make this on a pretty regular basis! I have ditched the olive oil, and instead I use 1 large lemon, 1 large orange, and red wine to produce the liquid, and I use boneless skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. I liked the original but these minor changes have made it an absolute favorite for me 🙂
Becky says
This is delicious!!! I will definitely keep this recipe in my dinner rotation. I followed the instructions exactly …….. soooo good. Can’t wait to make it again.
Lea says
I love this recipe. It’s one of the first meals I made for me and my husband right after we got married (it’s also the very first meal I made in a slow-cooker). I make it a few times each year and it’s sitting in my slow-cooker right now too, another 3 hours to go until dinner! This is one of my favorites.
Jenna says
I made this tonight, it’s so good! Thank you for sharing

I remade this today. Added 3/4 a can of low sodium chicken stock and made the potatoes separate. Also, cooked on high for 3 hours instead of 4. It turned out much better and was moist. Not sure if my crockpot runs high, but last time chicken was extremely dry.
Sarah Olson says
Thank you for the tips.
Kate says
Made this for dinner tonight and it was so easy and delicious! Followed the recipe exactly and everything turned out perfectly! We will definitely make it again.
Sarah Olson says
That’s wonderful Kate!
Joy says
I love this recipe and it quickly became a family favorite! I’ve played around with the cooking times a bit because I tend to use thin cut chicken breasts and the chicken comes out a bit dry when I cook it on high for 4 hours. So far I have found that 5-6 hours on low works best for me. Thanks for the great and healthy recipe!
Susan says
Would this work in a 6 qt. round crock pot?
Sarah Olson says
Yes! I think so.
Diane Thomas says
Love this recipe – easy to make – delicious. I’ve made it for friends recovering from surgery, illness, etc. and they love it. My husband and I have this dish quite often.
April says
Hi! I love this recipe…I’ve made it twice. However, both times the chicken has been dry…its fall apart tender but still dry. The first time we cooked it for the 4 hours on high but we were not home from work so the crockpot clicked over to ‘warm.’ We thought it was cooked too long. However, we made it again last night and we ate it immediately after the 4 hours and it was still dry…tender but dry! Any tips? It’s very tasty!

Try boneless skinless chicken thighs
