This Slow Cooker Chicken and Potatoes recipe is a comforting and easy one-pot meal featuring tender chicken breasts, baby potatoes, and fresh green beans all cooked in a flavorful garlic butter and ranch seasoning mixture. Perfect for busy days, it requires minimal prep and slow cooks to juicy, savory perfection.

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1½ pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

Protein

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Seasonings & Sauces

  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ounce ranch seasoning mix (or homemade equivalent)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Layer veggies and chicken: Arrange the halved baby potatoes and trimmed green beans at the bottom of the slow cooker. Then place the boneless skinless chicken breasts evenly on top of the vegetables.
  2. Make the butter mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and ranch seasoning mix, stirring well until thoroughly mixed.
  3. Pour and season: Pour the garlic butter and ranch seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables, making sure everything is coated. Season with salt and pepper to your preference.
  4. Slow cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours, or on high for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
  5. Garnish and serve: Before serving, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish for a burst of color and freshness.

Notes

  • For a homemade ranch seasoning mix, combine dried parsley, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and dried chives.
  • You can substitute green beans with other vegetables like carrots or bell peppers if desired.
  • Check chicken internal temperature; it should reach 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To save time, prep the vegetables and chicken the night before and refrigerate until ready to cook.
