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 flair, 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!
I love this using this Hamilton Beach 6-Quart Slow Cooker for my recipes because it has three simple cooking settings, it is easy to clean, dishwasher safe, and easy to carry with the handles.
I used this minced garlic & red chili pepper and it took the flavor to the next level!!!
Adding tomato paste is the secret ingredient to my marinades!

🤔 Common Questions
Absolutely! Boneless, skinless thighs work great and stay super juicy. Just keep an eye on the cook time—they may be done closer to the 3-hour mark.
Nope! If you’re using bite-size potatoes with thin skins (like baby golds or reds), just slice them in half and toss them in. The skins add texture and flavor.
Yes! You can assemble everything in the crockpot insert the night before, cover it, and store it in the fridge. In the morning, just pop it into the base and cook!
