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 like this recipe, but I thought it was a bit dry and bland, so I added a can of mushrooms, and extra spices: Chef Paul’s poultry seasoning, Cavenders, and red pepper flakes. It was delicious

Very good! I doubled everything and it still turned out right. There was a lot of leftover liquid in the slow cooker so I poured some wild rice in it and that turned out wonderfully too. Will definitely be cooking again.
Debbie Avino says
I made this recipe today for tonight’s dinner. It was very good. The homemade dressing had lots of flavor and tanginess from the lemon juice.
Best of all, there are leftovers for lunches!
Thank you.
