Crockpot Lemon Chicken
1 whole chicken
1/4 c. olive oil
2 lemons, 1 thinly sliced, 1 juiced
1 t. salt
black pepper
2-4 garlic cloves, minced
1 T. rosemary (opt)
1 lb green beans, trimmed
4-5 potatoes peeled and cut into chunks
Coat the bottom of a large Dutch oven with 1 T. olive oil and arrange the lemon slices in a single layer on the bottom.
In a separate large bowl, combine 1/4 c. olive oil with lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper; add the green beans and toss to coat.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the green beans and arrange them on top of the lemon slices. Add the potatoes to the leftover olive oil mixture and toss to coat. Use a slotted spoon to remove potatoes and arrange them along the inside edge of the Dutch oven (on top of the green beans).
Baste the chicken thoroughly with the remaining olive oil mixture and place the chicken in the Dutch oven. Pour any remaining oil mixture over the chicken.
Place the lid on the Dutch oven and bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.

By “skin side up”, I assume you mean back side up?
Hi Beth, Durenda updated the recipe and took out that part. It doesn’t matter which side goes up or down in the crockpot, so just do it the way you like it best. 🙂
Looks delicious! Stopping by from the Little Bird Told Me link party. Pinning this recipe! Thanks for sharing it.
