How to make Slow Cooker Lemon Garlic Chicken & Veggies

- Place seasoned chicken breasts on the bottom of the slow cooker, then top the chicken with potatoes, green beans, garlic, butter, seasonings and lemon juice. (Full instructions on recipe card below)
Not only is this garlicky chicken dinner delicious, I love that the entire meal, including sides, is made in the slow cooker!
That means no extra dishes to wash AND I save time not having to make side dishes!
How to serve this chicken and veggies dinner
You can serve this right from the slow cooker, but I like to put everything on a large platter and serve family style for people to help themselves.
Be sure to pour all the amazing liquid over everything and serve with a spoon so everyone can get more sauce!
This is a great all-in-one meal by itself, but it would be great served with a green salad or baguette.
How to store leftovers
Store leftover chicken & veggies in an air-tight container in the refrigerator and use within 3-4 days.

NOTES:
- I have only tested this recipe on the “low” setting of the slow cooker.
- If you don’t have thyme, rosemary would be a good replacement.
