Crockpot Lemon Chicken and Potatoes
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!
