Slow Cooker Italian Chicken and Potatoes is such an easy meal to make but packed with such amazing flavor! The entire family will love this hearty meal in one.
Hey hey it’s Tiffany from Creme de la Crumb! It’s no secret I’m a little bit obsessed with my slow cooker – or I should say slow cookers because I think I have five of them??? I just got a new one for Christmas and I’m so excited about it, I use my slow cookers several times a week and when we are having a family get together I usually have a few in use at the same time.
This is a great go-to weeknight staple dish. I love the flavors, it’s really healthy, and I never get tired of chicken or potatoes. The best part? It’s chicken AND potatoes made in one dish at the same time. It’s awesome! Even picky eaters are a fan of this simple crockpot meal. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does!

Hello! Could I leave it on low for 8 hours if I start it when I go to work in the morning?
That will be a little too long for this chicken to cook since it is already cooking on low!
Italian dressing mix or blended Italian seasonings? Thanks!
Could you add carrots and a small onion?
Sure! That sounds delicious!
How would you change this up for using an instant pot?
Although I’ve never tried it, I’m sure you could! The potatoes may need some liquid, I would suggest adding about 1 cup of broth or water to the pot and cooking at high pressure for 15-20 min. Let me know how it turns out!
Do you need to add any liquid to this or just the olive oil ?
Just the oil!
My potatoes were very wet from the condensation. How does yours look so dry?
I’m sorry! I’m not sure why that would have happened to you! Did you try browning the chicken and potatoes before? Maybe that would help!
I always put paper towels under the lid to catch any condensation
Made this last night and it was lovely, so easy to make and a nice change to the usual chicken meals
How long if you cook it on high?
I would try cooking it on high for 2-3 hours!
