Description

This Slow Cooker Seasoned Chicken with Green Beans and Potatoes is a simple, hearty meal perfect for busy days. The chicken breasts are seasoned with a blend of garlic, onion, paprika, and thyme, then slow-cooked to tender perfection alongside fresh green beans and quartered potatoes. Enhanced with chicken broth, olive oil, and butter, this dish delivers comforting flavors with minimal effort, making it an ideal one-pot meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 pound chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Vegetables

  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1.5 pounds red or yellow potatoes, quartered

Seasonings & Liquids

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Begin by washing and preparing the green beans and potatoes. Trim the ends off the green beans and quarter the potatoes. Place them at the bottom of your slow cooker to form a bed for the chicken.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Layer the chicken breasts on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker.
  3. Make the Seasoning Mix: In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and dried thyme, mixing well to create a flavorful seasoning blend.
  4. Season the Chicken: Pour the olive oil over the chicken breasts and rub the seasoning mixture onto the chicken to ensure each piece is evenly coated with flavor.
  5. Add Liquids: Pour the chicken broth gently over the chicken, potatoes, and green beans to add moisture and enhance cooking.
  6. Add Butter: Distribute the butter pieces evenly across the top of the chicken and vegetables to enrich the dish with a buttery finish.
  7. Cook Slowly: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low setting for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours, until the chicken is tender and the potatoes are fully cooked.
  8. Check Doneness: Once cooking time is complete, use a fork to check the tenderness of the chicken and potatoes. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if desired.
  9. Serve: Serve the seasoned chicken with the green beans and potatoes, spooning some of the flavorful juices from the bottom of the slow cooker over the top.

Notes

  • For a quicker option, cook on high for 4 to 5 hours instead of low for 7 to 8 hours.
  • You can substitute green beans with other vegetables like carrots or zucchini based on preference.
  • Adjust seasoning levels to taste before serving for enhanced flavor.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated within 3 days for easy meals.
