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.

Followed this recipe to a T, and it was a hit! Easy and delicious. Thank you. Will make it again in the very near future.
Sarah Olson says
Thanks for coming back and letting us know how you liked it! 🙂
Brandy says
Made this tonight exactly like the recipe said. The crockpot was full of juice and it smelled soo good. The fresh green beans and potatoes had a great flavor but the chicken was so dry we could barely eat it. Everyone else had great reviews about the chicken but I didn’t do anything different…. suggestions? Im thinking maybe cooking it longer at a lower temp next time? I would really like to try this again because the flavors were great!
Sarah Olson says
Did you use frozen or fresh chicken? I’m trying to figure out what could of happened. 🙂
solemardesigns says
I can’t see the recipe any more. all i see when i try to search this post is all of the comments ;(
Sarah Olson says
I’m working on fixing things right now. My old theme stop working today and I have been working diligently to get things back to normal. May take a week to do that. I apologize. Do you need me to send you the recipe?
Jennifer says
Can I use canned green beans instead? Thats all I have at the momnent.
Sarah Olson says
I think it would be fine. I often cook canned green beans for long periods of time in the slow cooker. They don’t change much after cooking.
Sandra says
I forgot a lemon… Any suggestions for a sub?
Sarah Olson says
Hmm, maybe some sort of vinegar. When I created the sauce I kept testing it before I cooked it. If the sauce tastes good before you put it on the chicken, it should be good!
Lauren says
I am currently on the 21 day fix and also trying to please my man for dinner. This was a win and so great, fresh, healthy, and I wouldn’t change a thing. Not being able to print wasn’t an issue, easily recalled on my pinterest for easy access. I look forward to exploring more of your recipes, thank you so much! I did do 7 hours on low, but I have an oval, smaller than 6 quart.
Rachael says
I cooked this in my 5 quart slow cooker for 5 hours on low and it turned out great! I didn’t have any onion powder so I just used some regular chopped onion. The lemon juice really makes this recipe! I will be trying another one of your recipes soon!
Emmie says
Trying it now but I made it worth the 100% lemon juice from the bottle I didn’t read the last sentence until after blending the mix up so I’m crossing my fingers! Looks and smells great so far!
Sarah Olson says
It may be ok! I’m crossing my fingers too 🙂
hidinghero says
Did it work???
Jo says
Made this yesterday…very easy and so delicious! I’m going to try sweet potatoes next time as another reviewer suggested…Thank you for sharing Sarah!
Kimberly says
Can I do this on low for 8 hours?
AHM says
If I used broccoli instead of green beans should I add it later so it won’t over cook?
Sarah Olson says
That probably would be best, but it still will take about 2 hours to cook.

Sorry Asleigh, I don’t have that info. You’ll have to enter it in on a calorie counter website.
