If you are looking for a complete chicken supper that you can cook in your slow cooker this is it! Best of all you can prepare this slow cooker chicken with sweet potatoes and green beans as a freezer meal and then simply thaw it and cook it when you are ready to eat it. We really enjoyed this delicious paleo and Whole 30 compliant dinner that is also gluten free.
I wasn’t sure how I would enjoy the green beans but they turned out great. Best of all I put this into the crockpot in the morning and was gone all day. When we came home after soccer the house smelled delicious and dinner was ready.
If you are not eating Whole 30 or Paleo we thought the addition of corn bread would be an amazing accompaniment to this recipe. However we were and were 100% satisfied without it.
Be sure that you invest in a good quality slow cooker. Our favorite is this programmable cook and carry 6qt oval slow cooker. You can adjust this recipe to feed your family using 4-6 pieces of meat. I personally use 4 to feed my family of 3 with a leftovers for lunch the next day. I use 2 lbs of chicken in my recipe but you can adjust between 4-6 cuts of chicken.
I hope your family enjoys this Slow Cooker Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Green Beans meal as much as mine did!

August 21, 2016 at 2:44 pmIs there any reason I can’t freeze the broths and sauces with these meals?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
August 22, 2016 at 6:14 pmIt is just too much for the bag. Best to add it at the time of cooking because the bag needs space to expand. 🙂

August 27, 2016 at 11:09 amThe Adobe spices-is it one tablespoon of each spices and then one tablespoon for the meal

August 29, 2016 at 4:14 pmOh no – it is 1 TBSP total of dried Spice Hound Adobe Seasoning (it is a blend of garlic, onion, oregano, cumin, black pepper)

October 11, 2016 at 7:39 amHey! Thank you so much for this recipe! It’s my new favorite! I like to cook my food for the whole week so this past time I added a lot more veggies so it would last me a week (like to the top of the crockpot lol) Do you recommend adding anything extra? I wasn’t sure! Thank you 🙂
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
October 11, 2016 at 8:30 amYou can add additional spices or veggies (whatever you have on hand). 🙂 Enjoy!

October 30, 2016 at 10:10 amI could not find the Adobe seasoning. so how would much of the individual spices would be used and is it garlic salt or powder and onion powder?

January 10, 2017 at 11:44 pmHi. Can’t find that spice. Do you have a substitute? Or know how to make that spice? thanks
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
January 11, 2017 at 10:04 amJust use a blend of garlic, onion, oregano, cumin and black pepper. 🙂

February 3, 2017 at 10:43 pmThis looks so yummy! One question: does it really have 1/2 cup olive oil? That seems like a ton.
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
February 4, 2017 at 9:44 pmFeel free to reduce but yes I used 1/2 cup.

July 20, 2017 at 3:42 pmIf I want to use the raw honey, what needs to be done
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
July 21, 2017 at 9:57 amI think so. Cooking the raw honey will reduce the benefits of using raw honey. I would consider adding it after cooking to keep them.

August 7, 2017 at 12:20 pmare the sweet potato chunks pre cooked slightly before freezing? I’m trying to get some meals together in prep for our homeschool year!
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
August 7, 2017 at 2:44 pmNo they are not pre-cooked.

September 20, 2017 at 10:12 pmHow is the chicken not dry as dust after 6 to 8 hrs? When I cook chicken in the crockpot on low to shred and freeze, it only takes a 2 to 3 hrs. I’ve left it longer and it was not good. Any thoughts?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
September 21, 2017 at 4:36 pmFeel free to pull it out sooner if you desire. The olive oil and the chicken broth kept it nice and moist.

August 27, 2018 at 2:39 pmI once froze a bunch of green beans without first blanching them…. bad idea! They got black spots allover and had to be thrown out. Do the sauces make the difference, or do I need to cook them a bit first. Just a little hesitant after the first mess.
