Homemade dressing ingredients:

Instructions

  • Start by placing the chicken the middle of the slow cooker. Next, add the green beans on one side. Then for the potatoes, you will need to mound them high off to the other side.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic cloves.
  • Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken, green beans and potatoes.
  • Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 7 hours, without opening the lid during the cooking time.
  • Note- Do NOT use lemon juice out of squeeze bottle, the recipe will not turn out correct.

Notes

Why can't I use bottled lemon juice?
Bottled lemon juice in recipes can taste bitter. This recipe has been tested with fresh lemon juice. Many reviews who have used bottled instead have not liked the meal for the flavor of the bottled lemon juice isn't right for this recipe.
How to Store:
Place in airtight containers and refrigerate for up to three days. I do not recommend freezing this for potatoes don't reheat well after being froze.
Variations
  • Use a different vegetable than green beans. You can use: Broccoli, asparagus, canned or fresh corn, baby carrots, or use extra potatoes!
  • Use Italian dressing instead of the homemade (such as Newman's own.
  • Or use a stick of melted butter and sprinkle a packet of Good Seasons Italian dressing mix over. You can find the Italian dressing mix on the salad dressing aisle next to the ranch dressing packets.
