Healthy Slow Cooker Chicken and Veggies
"A Healthy Crockpot Chicken and Veggies recipe that has an herb flavored, roasted chicken with fresh green beans and red potatoes. This meal is healthy because it only has fresh ingredients and some seasonings. Nothing unhealthy about that! It's a win-win all the way around. Feed your family a great meal they will love, and you don’t have to feel guilty about what’s in it. The best part is you cook it in the crockpot so you can set it that morning before you leave and come home to a complete healthy dinner ready to serve."
NotesYou can use any kind of potatoes, but red are the best.
Leave the peeling on the potatoes for added flavor and vitamins.
You can use chicken breasts or thighs instead of a whole chicken.
