This Slow Cooker Seasoned Chicken and Vegetables recipe is one of my favorite kinds of Crockpot dinners because the protein, potatoes, and vegetables all cook together in one pot. Chicken breasts, red potatoes, and green beans slowly cook in a simple lemon, garlic, and herb marinade until everything is tender and flavorful.
It’s an easy dump-and-go slow cooker chicken dinner that requires very little prep and already has your main dish and sides covered.

Hi, Will it be ok to add a little bit of chicken broth? Is it the same cooking time if I use a 7 quart crock pot with thighs instead of chicken breast?
I just made this last night and it was so delicious! I love crockpot meals in the winter, thanks again Julia.
the chicken has a lot of juice as it cooks.
It seems like very little liquid for a slow cooker! Besides the lemon juice and the oil, no other liquids?
Would swapping in sweet potatoe work?
