Slow Cooker Homestyle Chicken and Vegetables
I’ve made this two times in the last few days for dinner because it’s just so easy and so tasty. My son exclaimed that I need to make these cooked carrots more often. I appreciate this one pot meal so much because it has the protein (chicken), starch (red potatoes) and vegetables (beans and carrots) all together in one dish. The seasoning is so tasty too. This is my new favorite go-to healthy weeknight dinner recipe. I love it!

What Slow Cooker Did You Use?
To make slow cooker homestyle chicken and vegetables I used my 6 quart oval Kitchenaid slow cooker.* I love this slow cooker (you can see me talking about it in a video here). It cooks low and evenly. I love the medium heat choice because most slow cookers that I’ve seen only have the option of cooking on low or high. If you’re going to buy just one slow cooker, this is the one that I recommend

Well seasoned chicken, green beans, red potatoes and carrots are all cooked together in your slow cooker. A true one pot meal that is family friendly, tastes amazing and is so easy to put together.
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 lbs uncooked thawed boneless, skinless chicken breasts or boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/2 pound baby carrots (the thicker kind) or whole peeled carrots
- 1 lb fresh green beans
- 1 1/2 lbs red potatoes
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp crushed rosemary
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare your chicken by cutting off excess fat and then cutting the chicken into bite size pieces. Add the chicken to the slow cooker.
- Prepare your vegetables. Wash your green beans and trim off the ends. Cut them in half. Wash your potatoes and cut the red potatoes in half (for firmer) or in quarters (for soft). Add all the vegetables to the slow cooker.
- Sprinkle in the salt, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, paprika and olive oil. Use a large spoon to toss everything together and to distribute the seasonings.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours. Remove lid, stir and scoop onto dishes and enjoy!

So, today was the first time I ever used a slow cooker and this recipe was the first one I prepared. All of the ingredients are proportioned well and my meal came out perfect! I am elated since I am not a cook, and yet I have a great meal. Thank you for this wonderful recipe! I am looking forward to making more of your dishes.

This is really really good. I’ve made it twice already and I will make it again. I put it in my slow cooker on low overnight and shut it off in the morning, took it to work for lunch and separated the rest for future meals. So easy and so delicious. Winning!

So great to hear this Shannon!
I’m making it now smelling good

This came out awesome! So easy to make too! 🙂 I did have a question for reheating it. When it first came out of the crockpot, it was perfectly moist but after reheating it, it tasted a little dry. Any recommendations?
Chicken is like that! Reheating chicken never goes smoothly for me. I’m sorry I don’t have more expertise. Here is an article I found about it: https://www.thekitchn.com/whats-the-best-way-to-reheat-chicken-breast-without-making-it-dry-223268
Can you use frozen carrots and peas?
I haven’t tried that Kelly so I’m not 100% sure. I think that you could and it would be okay. My one concern is that it would be a little mushy.
In my slow-cooker now. Smells great! I also was worried about no added liquid but it seems to be fine. I did put a small amount (like 1/2 cup) on the bottom of the cooker. My chicken is kinda shredding but the potatoes and carrots aren’t done yet.
I just did it and it was wonderful. I always thought I had to add liquid in order for it to work but it came out delicious, I did cheat and added just enough water for the bottom, mom always said water, so in her honor.

Very good, easy as well. I put sweet potatoes in the recipe as well when I have them 😁
Thank you for sharing so many easy recipes. May you be blessed as you bless so many others!
So sweet! Thank you Alexandra!
Did you add any liquid to the slow cooker? I didn’t see anything in the list of ingredients. This is a healthy recipe and plan to make it soon.

No liquid for slow cooker version!
I have this in my slow cooker right now. It looks wonderful! Do you think it would freeze ok?
I’m not sure how the potatoes will freeze. But you could give it a try and see how it works!
I didn’t try freezing it but I cooked it on low and checked it after 5 1/2 hrs. The veggies were still really hard so I cooked it another hour on high and they were perfect! Great recipe! Thanks!!
Is the nutrition information per serving or for the whole recipe?
