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.

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.

▢ 2 lbs. Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
▢ 1/2 lb. fresh green beans trimmed (about 2.5 cups)
▢ 1 1/4 lb. diced red potatoes about 4 cups

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.

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.
