An easy and delicious one-pot meal, the Slow Cooker Lemon Chicken and Potatoes is a perfect dinner on any busy night. The potatoes are infused with flavor from the herbs and lemon and the chicken is fall-apart tender. With minimal prep, you can have a delicious chicken and potato dinner in no time and it is gluten-free and Whole 30 compliant! I did notice that the lemons need to come out of the slow cooker as soon as the meal is cooked as they could leave a bitterness if left in there for too long. En
