6. Check that the chicken reaches 165°F and the potatoes are tender before serving.

Notes

Cut potatoes into even pieces so they cook uniformly.

Green beans can be left whole or cut smaller if preferred.

For firmer green beans, add them during the final hour of cooking.

Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F before serving.

Frozen green beans may be used but can release extra liquid.

Red potatoes work best because they hold their shape during slow cooking.

Chicken thighs can be substituted for chicken breasts.

Try Cajun seasoning, taco seasoning, or chicken seasoning blends for variation.

Onion or lemon zest can also be added for more flavor.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days.

Freeze leftovers for up to 3 months.

Reheat gently in the microwave or slow cooker after thawing overnight in the refrigerator.
