Ingredients
Protein
- 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Vegetables
- ½ lb fresh green beans (trimmed)
- 1 lb petite red potatoes (quartered)
Marinade & Seasoning
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 3 tsp garlic (minced)
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp paprika
Instructions
- Prepare the Crockpot: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the center of the Crockpot. Arrange the trimmed green beans and quartered petite red potatoes evenly on each side of the chicken to ensure even cooking.
- Make the marinade: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground black pepper, salt, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika until all ingredients are well combined, forming a flavorful marinade.
- Combine and cook: Pour the prepared marinade evenly over the chicken, green beans, and potatoes in the Crockpot. Cover with the lid and cook on high for 2½ to 3½ hours or on low for 5 to 6 hours until the chicken is tender and fully cooked and the vegetables are soft.

- For best results, use fresh and evenly sized potatoes and green beans to ensure uniform cooking.
- Adjust seasoning according to your taste preferences, adding more garlic or Italian seasoning if desired.
- If you prefer, you can add other vegetables such as carrots or bell peppers for variety.
- Make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is safely cooked.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
