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.

This dish is so delicious and my family loves it! Thank you, Sarah! My crockpot is a bit small, so I steam the green beans on the side. I also use chicken breast tenders, which helps make for extra tender chicken.
I love this recipe! I always use my instant pot instead comes out amazing! I just add one cup water and cook on high pressure for 45 mins and naturally release pressure for about 15 mins. It’s amazing!
Chicken was over cooked and too dry to eat. Green beans and potatoes were tasty.
I’ve made this with the homemade dressing and the packet of Italian dressing. My husband prefers the Italian packet seasoning and I love them both, so I’ve decided to use the Italian seasoning packet and put some fresh lemon on my beans and chicken. Delicious! Thanks for sharing.
Came out very dry and overcooked
Can I used canned green beans?
Yes! You can, though you may want to add them the last hour.
I’m making this for dinner tonight. It smells so good! I added a little Italian seasoning to it.
Can I do this quicker in the instant pot?
Does the cooking time of 4 hours work on frozen chicken thighs as well?
I’m unsure. I apologize. I only use thawed meats.
I usually do 6 hours for frozen chicken. I saw it in another recipe long ago.
Love it. Only 4 hours on low in cross crockpot.
Wonder if possible to have mashed potatoes in this recipe?
New family favorite. I just swapped the teaspoon of oregano for a blend of oregano, basil, thyme and rosemary. Everybody loved it.
Can russet potatoes be used along with the red potatoes?
Yes, any potato works well in this recipe.
How long to cook this if i use asparagus and chicken. I left the potatoes out, not enough room.
Probably 5 hours on low.
Made this for the first time with carrots instead of green beans. Cooked four hours on high and came out perfect. Chicken was tender as were potatoes and carrots. Used a lemon pepper flavor packet with olive oil, red wine vinegar and dome melted butter. If I can make this, anyone can snd it was tasty
