    Chicken breasts in a slow cooker.

    A small bowl marinade getting poured over potatoes in a slow cooker.

    Pour over chicken and potatoes. Cover with lid and cook on high for 3 hours. Add the green beans and cook for another 30 minutes. Serve hot.

    Hint: Leaving the green beans out till the last 30 minutes helps to prevent them from getting too soft.

    🔄Substitutions

    • 🐔Chicken breasts - you can sub in boneless, skinless chicken thighs for this recipe. You'll get a deeper flavour from the dark meat
    • 🥔Mini potatoes - if you don't have the mini potatoes the Yukon gold potatoes would work well
    • 🍋Lemon - lime juice works instead of lemon

    💃Variations

    Change this recipe up a little with these tweaks:

    • 🔥Spicy - add some harissa paste into the olive oil instead of the Italian seasoning, sprinkle some red chili flakes on top or add a finely diced jalapeno
    • 🧀Say cheese - parmesan cheese and chicken with herbs go together like peas and carrots so if you have some, after plating this dish, added some fresh parmesan cheese over top

    No Italian seasoning? Use a Greek blend or your own - use oregano, basil, onion powder and garlic powder.

    🥣Equipment

    The main equipment you'll use for this chicken and rice soup recipe is your slow cooker or crock pot. You can also use the slow cooker setting on an Instant Pot too.

    And if you use your Instant Pot, you can sear the chicken breasts using the saute function on the Instant Pot and then just get everything in the pot. A pan saved from cleaning😄

    🥡Storage and Leftovers

    This chicken and potatoes recipes makes fantastic leftovers.

    Just keep in the fridge in a sealed container. It's great for meal prep too!

    After cooking this chicken dinner, it doesn't freeze well so eat it up within 3 days.

    🏅Top tip

    Searing the chicken breasts first help to develop flavour and give a nice colour to the chicken BUT if you don't have time, you can skip this step.

        Hey Becky - I've made this a few times now and it's SO juicy! The broth keeps it from drying out. Thanks for commenting 🙂
