Chicken and Green Beans
Description
This slow-cooker recipe makes delicious Greek-inspired chicken and green beans with lemon-tomato flavor. The chicken juices flavor the green beans, but the beans can also be prepared alone as a side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 large tomatoes, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup snipped fresh dill
- 2 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 bone-in chicken thighs (about 1-1/2 pounds)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- optional: lemon wedges and additional snipped fresh dill
Directions
- Combine the first 7 ingredients in a 5- or 6-qt. slow cooker. Top with chicken. Drizzle with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, covered, on low until a thermometer inserted in chicken reads 170°-175°, 4-6 hours.
- Preheat broiler. Place chicken on a greased rack in a broiler pan. Broil 4-6 in. from heat until golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Serve with bean mixture and, if desired, lemon wedges and additional fresh dill.
