Equipment

  • 1 Slow cooker

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast 3-4 breasts
  • ½ lb fresh green beans, trimmed about 4 cups
  • 1 ½ lbs halved baby potatoes red or gold, about 4 cups
  • ⅓ cup lemon juice, fresh
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 cloves minced garlic

Instructions

  • Sear chicken breasts in a non-stick pan with a little olive oil on the stove for just 2 minutes per side.
  • Place seared chicken breast in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Add potatoes on top.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic together.
  • Pour mixture over the chicken and potatoes.
  • Cover with lid and cook on high for 1 ½ hours. Add the green beans.
  • Cook for another 30 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and serve.

Notes

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.
Leftovers good for up to 3 days in the fridge and are delicious heated up.
Note on cooking time: after 1.5 hours on high, the chicken breasts will be cooked through. Check with an instant read meat thermometer that they are at least 165 degrees F. After you put the green beans on top, cook for another 30 minutes.
