Katherine Stultz says
Could you use russet potatoes?
christina.klapper says
Hey Katherine, yes you should be able to! Just make sure they are cut into 1” pieces so that they cook evenly and aren’t undercooked by the time the chicken is ready!
Shannon says
Easy flavorful and just…. So good
Used frozen chicken frozen green beans and chunked up russets into Ike 1-2 inch pieces
So. So. Good will absolutely make again!
christina.klapper says
I’m so glad to hear you loved it!!!! Thank you for this sweet review!
Suzanne Minkus says
Could you use olive oil instead of butter in the same amount?
christina.klapper says
Yes you can!!!
Linda says
Made this but did not use potatoes used baby carrots, frozen green beans and frozen asparagus. Followed directions except for that change. Was very good.
christina.klapper says
So glad you enjoyed it Linda!!!
Emily says
What substitutions can I use for the Lipton's soup/dip mix?
Would just an onion soup dry mix work?
I'm in Australia, so can't get the Lipton's here.
christina.klapper says
Yes! An onion soup dry mix is perfect or you can do salt, pepper, garlic powder and some caramelized onions!!
Debi Hutton says
I didn't change a thing and it turned out deliciously! So tasty and comforting on a freezing January night. Will def make again!
christina.klapper says
I’m so happy you loved it Debi!!!!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to review!
Sammy says
What is the Best way to do this but with frozen chicken breast?
christina.klapper says
Hi Sammy,
I am so sorry for the delayed response! It is not recommended to cook frozen chicken in the slow cooker directly, but to thaw the chicken out first per USDA food safety guidelines. That is what I recommend as well as I have not tried to make this dish with frozen chicken!
Ashley says
Excited to try this really easy recipe tonight. It will be great for those nights we have sports practice. Is the fat content really only 5grames? I would think it would be closer to 14 because of the butter but maybe as long as you don't use the sauce at the bottom it would be less?
christina.klapper says
Hey Ashley!
Good catch on this! The recipe card generates calories based on what ingredients are put in and for some reason the butter was calculating as cake mix (I have no clue what happened with that!) I corrected the ingredient and the nutrition facts should now be accurate! It is true though, that unless you're eating all the sauce at the bottom which is not likely, you will likely not be consuming that much fat! So sorry about the confusion!
Kate says
Hi Christina,
This looks so great, thanks for sharing! I don’t have access to that onion soup and dip mix, could you give me an idea of what’s in it so I can find an alternative? I live in portugal. Thank you so much!
christina.klapper says
Hey Kate!!! You can finely chop an onion and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder and saute with some avocado oil until translucent as a substitute! I’d also probably season the potatoes, green beans and chicken with some salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder as well!!
Shannon says
This was the perfect weekday dinner. We had to buy the dry mix from amazon because we live in the UK. Would love to know if there is an alternative, although, we will be making this again, regardless.
christina.klapper says
Hey Shannon! I looked into it and Knorr Beef Onion Soup packets seem to be a common alternative and are likely available at major UK supermarkets like Tesco or Waitrose! Is that a brand you are familiar with?
Ava says
It's a winner and will now be on my regular family dinner rotation. All 5 kiddos plus my spouse and I enjoyed it. Thanks!
