Italian Chicken and Potatoes – A simple crockpot meal!
This recipe for Italian Chicken and Potatoes serves up chicken and vegetables with a juicy pop of flavor. Your family will love this tender chicken and potatoes meal.
Sometimes we forget that we have staples already in our pantries that can make a everyday dish turn into a sensation for the senses. This recipe for Italian Chicken and Potatoes serves up chicken and vegetables with a juicy pop of flavor. With spring on the horizon, I know we all want to spend more time enjoying the beautiful weather that is coming our way and so the nicer the weather gets, the more I tend to rely on crock pot meals to free up my time in the kitchen.
I know some of y’all are still in the middle of winter where you are. While the temps in Alabama have definitely dropped lately, out my window the sun is shining so pretty that I can’t help but feel joy just looking at it. Finding joy in the little things – that’s the way to live!
Now let us get in the kitchen and whip up some supper!
Oh! If you subscribe to my newsletter make sure you open the first edition of the Southern Plate Gazette that I sent out last Saturday around 9:00 AM central. I’ll be choosing winners from the giveaway in there tomorrow. If you don’t already subscribe to my newsletter, you can sign up at the top of this page in that red bar. It’s free and the best sure fire way to get all of the latest recipes. I’ll be announcing this week’s giveaway in the next edition of the Gazette, which goes out once a week.
To make this, you’ll need: Boneless skinless chicken breasts (bone in works as well), red potatoes, Italian seasoning herbs, chicken broth, and Italian dressing.
I always keep a bottle of Italian dressing in my refrigerator because it can be used in so many recipes and is great for just marinating veggies in, too.
Place the chicken in the bottom of a slow cooker (mine is a six quart but a four quart would work). Add the potatoes and sprinkle with the Italian seasoning. Pour the chicken broth and the Italian dressing over everything.
Cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through, 7 to 8 hours on low, 3 to 4 hours on high.
I like to get more green veggies in by serving this with a little salad on the side. Check out my Super Food Salad recipe for a great salad that can be made ahead of time and keeps for several days in the fridge.
This meal is best when served at the dinner table, with the tv off, telephones absent, and sitting next to people you love. 🙂

that looks so good.
Looks fabulous! Love crock pot recipes all year long! So, I am subscribed and get your emails all the time, I thought…but didn’t receive any emails from you on Saturday?? Wondering what happened!
Check your spam folder or promotions tab, that is usually where they get hung up. I just pulled up your email profile and it looks like you opened it so hopefully you found it. Thank you for being here, Susan! You’ve stuck with me a long time!
Sounds so very tasty – and easy, too! Just got in from the Strawberry Festival
in Plant City, Fl. – too late to cook today, but hopefully tomorrow! Thanks
for all your wonderful recipes.
Oh the sweet memories of the Plant City Strawberry Festival! Lucky you
I am going to put this in to cook right now. Perfect for what we needed today! Thank you!
Thank you Lucy!! I hope you enjoy your meal!!
I love to cook, however, I don’t have a crock pot to make these delicious meals. What I do have is my
Grandmothers stoneware where she was always whipping up soups and great meals. I want to try to use it, but my fear is that will it withstand the hours cooking and do I put the cookware in the oven or on the stovetop. Please help me.
It’s really going to depend on what that pot is made of and the integrity of it (chips, cracks). So I’m afraid I can’t tell you if that particular pot is a good candidate. I can tell you that you can adapt a slow cooker recipe to go in the oven easily, though. I use a dutch oven that is cast iron enamel coated. 300 degrees for about two hours usually yields about the same result. I’m getting a new crock pot this week myself, as I broke my favorite one last week in a freak accident. They run around $30 and is my most used kitchen appliance. Saves me tons of time and money.
I have gotten all my crock pots from the thrift store. Just plug them in at a provided outlet there at the store and wait for a few minutes to see if it heats up. If I purchase a small appliance like that and I am really leery about if it works or not, Goodwill has a policy that you can bring it back in a certain number of days and they will refund your money. I usually just go by the method mentioned above and purchase from a regular thrift store and I haven’t missed with that (I have 3). Another suggestion, pick up a food dehydrator while you’re there. They are usually around 7 to 9 dollars and they come it real handy to dry fruits, veggies, noodles, meat, mittens…oops, didn’t want to go into my other laundry secrets!
Christy, I hope you and your family are blessed even more than you already are. You are the light of so many people’s lives. I thank God for you.
