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. 🙂

Once again you have given us a wonderful recipe, easy and delicious.
Thank you!
I am so glad you liked it Phyllis!!
can this be made in the insta-pot ?
I am sure it could. I can’t really give you advice on times and such but would love to hear how it turns out.
Looks good. Just got all of the ingredients in the Crock-Pot and got it going. made it a little bigger than the recipe so I added a little more chicken a little more broth a little more Italian dressing and a little more Italian season.
Love this Christy. I might have to throw in a little sausage because I have that on hand. The only thing I don’t have is the Italian dressing, but I have the ingredients to make some. I will have to try your salad as well.
Update: This is ABSOLUTE HEAVEN. As I said, I didn’t have the dressing, and when I went to put this in my crockpot I didn’t want to make it so I just used olive oil. 4 tablespoons on top of the chicken and then 4 tablespoons on top of the potatoes. I sprinkled poultry seasoning, salt, garlic powder, and a little chili powder on the chicken and added the cup of chicken broth and added the diced andouille sausage. I then added sliced onions and topped everything with the potatoes and put more poultry seasoning. When it was done cooking I strained out one and a half cup of the juices and mixed it with a packet of Pioneer biscuit gravy mix, plus an additional half cup of water. Really GOOD gravy to serve on top of this chicken and potato deliciousness. Now, if anyone is reading this and going “Eww, gravy mix! How uncouth”, I say, don’t knock it, until you try it. Thank you for another great recipe Christy!!!
This looks good but those velvet pork chops on right sidebar look amazing! I’ve been fixing supper for Mom/Dad (since her hospital stay) and both these recipes fix my quick and easy requirement. Thanks so much!
Sending Get Well wishes to your Mom, I know she is blessed to have you as her daughter and making sure they are both being taken care of!!
What I love most about this recipe is that the ingredients really are regular normal items that I usually have on hand! You see if I have to go out and hunt down a “unique” ingredient, I just will not do it. I spend my days joyfully chasing my 21 mo old grandson, so I love slow cooker meals. This looks so tasty! I plan to try this tomorrow, and add green bean as a side. By 6:00 pm, I will be the queen of supper time. Simple. Satisfying. Supper. Thanks Christie.
I don’t like hunting down unusual ingredients either Sherry, which is why I always try to use easy, every day ingredients! That is such a fun age, I imagine you have the best days!!
This was a big hit with my sweet hubby! And I made those delicious baked parmesan zucchini sticks too. yummy.
What a wonderful pairing!! I am so glad to hear it was a hit!!
Got it in the ole crockie right now!!!! Come on suppertime:)
