Slow Cooker Greek Chicken with Potatoes and Green Beans

Slow Cooker Greek Chicken with Potatoes and Green Beans is an easy and healthy recipe perfect for a weeknight family meal.  You only need 10 minutes of morning prep and dinner will be waiting when you get home that evening 🙂

I don’t know about you, but I can never have too many slow cooker recipes?!? Even though I am now at home everyday, I still find it super convenient to take 10 minutes during Baby Girl’s morning nap to prep dinner and be done!!

It is also nice to have dinner ready whenever everyone needs to eat. Lil Man and Hubs might have soccer and be coming in late and I might need to get Baby Girl to sleep before I can eat. Currently she is going through a significant developmental leap which is causing the dreaded 8 month sleep regression. She and I both are sleep deprived and she is super clingy and needy. Let me just talk a moment about this sleep regression… YIKES!! My good sleeper who has been sleeping through the night for months now wakes 2-3 times a night! We are up for hours at a time with whimpering and crying that seems to be for no reason!! Then we end up sleeping in the recliner… This too shall pass… This too shall pass…

Ok…thank you for letting me vent for just a minute. Let’s get back to the real reason that you are here, this fabulous Slow Cooker Greek Chicken with Potatoes and Green Beans 😉

All the lovely greek flavors in an easy and healthy winner winner chicken dinner 🙂 My inspiration for my Slow Cooker Greek Chicken with Potatoes and Green Beans was this recipe from Bowl of Delicious. Let’s get started, shall we?

You will notice that the stock, tomatoes and basil didn’t make it into this pic 😉 I decided on them on the fly and threw them in the slow cooker. I am really glad that I did because I think that they were really needed 😉

Layer onions and garlic, then chicken, then potatoes and top with green beans. This way your green beans won’t get too mushy from cooking all day 🙂

This is when I decided on the tomatoes 😉 I remembered that we had a bunch of tomatoes in the frig that one of Dad’s customers had brought in that needed to be used… I like the pop of color too 😉 Then add your seasonings and finally pour the chicken stock over everything. That is all the prep that you have to do for this yummy Slow Cooker Greek Chicken with Potatoes and Green Beans 🙂

You come home from a long day at work and THIS is waiting on you!! How good it that???

Even Baby Girl put her stamp of approval on this Slow Cooker Greek Chicken with Potatoes and Green Beans!! I knew she would like the potatoes and green beans (two of her favs) but I have been struggling with eating any meat. I guess my Baby Girl is a bit like her Mama in that aspect (I can really give or take meat). However she did eat some of this chicken!
