Crockpot Lemon Chicken and Potatoes

5 servings
One of my absolute favorite things to cook in the crockpot is chicken breasts and baby potatoes. My go-to recipe for my crockpot chicken breast and potatoes includes the most incredibly delicious marinade you will ever have! It's a combination of the marinade I use for two different recipes and if you've ever had these two recipes: roasted chicken legs and potatoes and lemony chicken and potatoes, then you already know that you are in for a treat! No need for cream cheese or a can of condensed soup in this crockpot chicken recipe because the marinade and flavor combination I use for my family is fresh, savory, and delicious enough without any processed food. It's healthy, it's nutritious, and let me tell you a little secret…this is the crock pot recipe that my kids are always excited to eat! In fact it's hardly like a crockpot recipe at all, it's got a little greek flare, sprinkled in with a little italian vibe, and boom…the BEST crockpot chicken and potatoes recipe you will ever have! Are you ready? Let’s make it!

One Pot Greek Chicken and Lemon Rice

Recipe video above. The best chicken and rice recipe in the world!! This is not an authentic Greek dish (as far as I know!) but it is made using classic Greek ingredients. The beauty of this is that it is all made in one pot / pan. Cooking the rice with the chicken on top adds extra flavour to the rice because the chicken juices get soaked up by the rice. MARINATING TIME: 20 minutes to overnight. {Recipe video above} SCALE RECIPE using servings slider - hover mouse over Servings.
