# How to Make It:
01 -
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Rub the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts or thighs, ensuring thorough coating. For deeper flavor, marinate for 15 minutes if desired.

Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.

About 30 minutes before the end of cooking time, add green beans on top of the chicken and potatoes. Re-cover and continue cooking until green beans are crisp-tender and brightly colored.
# Extra Suggestions:

Use chicken thighs for richer flavor and juicier texture. Fresh herbs can enhance the seasoning blend if available.
