YUM! This was easy and delicious! No extra seasonings needed, it was just right. The chicken was super moist and tender, I have made chicken this same exact way but in the oven and never thought to do it in the crock pot..... this comes out 10X better and I will be cooking chicken this way from now on. As far as the potatoes not being cooked all the way through, about half way through the cooking process I gave it all a good stir and had the potatoes under the chicken and they turned out just right. When it was done I set my crock pot to keep warm and took some of the remaining juices plus water to cook up some white rice, and also served with some steamed broccoli. This was suspposed to be dinner for two nights but there is only enough left for maybe someones lunch......guess I better think of a plan B. Great post, thanks again!

This is always a great dinner to make for family or for entertaining. I always add a few sliced onions, as well as a nice white wine (1/2 cup) to the mixture in the crockpot. I prefer using red potatoes and don't bother to peel them. Can't miss either way.

I’m giving this two stars because if nothing else, I found a new way to make potatoes in the crockpot. The potatoes were good; my husband said he’d like to have them, again. Unfortunately, we thought the chicken was bland; it was almost completely shredded after 8 hours in the crockpot. I followed the recipe exactly and used Good Seasons Italian Dressing mix. Also, I placed the potatoes on top of the chicken and they were fine, no problems with them being undercooked. We won’t be making the chicken, again.

This was delicious! I used about 1.5 lbs. of boneless, skinless chicken breasts and 3 lbs. of red-skinned potatoes, which I did not peel. I also used fresh Italian dressing (made from the packet you can buy at the grocery store) and the flavor was phenomenal! Moist, perfectly seasoned, flavorful. Yum. Thanks, LorenLou!

We really enjoyed this dish and have made it numerous times. Have used boneless skinless chicken breast, chicken tenders, bone in skinless chicken breast and they have all turned out delicious! Thank you so much for posting. It is an easy family favorite that is in our rotation!
