Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes – Easy Dump Dinner
As an Amazon Associate and member of other affiliate programs, I earn from qualifying purchases.
This crockpot chicken and potatoes with green beans recipe is officially on repeat in our house — I made it Monday night and Sam asked for it again before the week was even over. That’s how I know a recipe’s a keeper: when somebody’s still thinking about it days later.
If you’ve got a busy week ahead, this one’s for you. It’s a true dump-and-go supper — five ingredients, one liner, zero babysitting the stove. Toss everything in the crockpot in the morning, and by suppertime you’ve got tender chicken thighs, soft little potatoes, and green beans soaked up in the most savory onion broth.
Why You’ll Love This Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes Recipe
- Five ingredients, one pot. No fancy shopping list, just pantry staples and a bag of chicken thighs.
- Truly hands-off. Dump it, set it, forget it for 6-8 hours.
- Easy cleanup. I always cook mine in a Reynolds slow cooker liner (this is my affiliate link — grab them here: REYNOLDS LINER), so there’s no scrubbing a crock afterward. Just lift the liner out and toss it.
- Family-approved. Sam asked for this again the very same week, and that almost never happens around here.
What You’ll Need
- 4 boneless or bone-in chicken thighs (use whatever you have — chicken breasts work too)
- 1 to 2 cups baby/mini potatoes
- 1 can green beans, drained
- 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix
- 1 cup chicken broth
- A Reynolds slow cooker liner (optional, but it makes cleanup a breeze — REYNOLDS LINER)
That’s it, sweet friend. No chopping, no browning, no extra seasoning required — the onion soup mix does all the heavy lifting.
How to Make Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes with Green Beans
- Line your crockpot with a Reynolds slow cooker liner for easy cleanup.
- Add the chicken thighs to the bottom of the crock.
- Scatter the baby potatoes and drained green beans around and over the chicken.
- Sprinkle the packet of Lipton onion soup mix evenly over everything.
- Pour in the chicken broth.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, until the chicken is fork-tender and the potatoes are soft.
- Give everything a gentle stir before serving so the savory onion broth coats the chicken, potatoes, and green beans.
Tips for the Best Dump-and-Go Supper
Don’t skip draining the green beans, since the extra liquid can water down the broth. If you’d rather have a thicker sauce than a light broth, stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch whisked with 2 tablespoons cold water) during the last 20-30 minutes on high. Chicken breasts will work in a pinch, but thighs stay juicier over a long cook time. And this recipe scales up real easy — just add more chicken, potatoes, and a second can of green beans if you’re feeding a crowd.
