Hello, slow cooking for the second time and results were better but still 7/10 at most, probably could do better. problems:

1) I felt like chicken was somewhat dry? I am very very inexperienced at cooking so I might be talking nonsenses but chicken was a bit tasteless and not juicy imo

2) I used this recipe:
https://www.themagicalslowcooker.com/seasoned-chicken-potatoes-and-green-beans/

Mostly. didnt have oregano for dressings and used frozen green beans instead.

Biggest problem was that dressing had very potent lemon taste and it pretty much overwhelmed green beans completely. Used potatoes on bottom, chicken on potatoes, then green beans and then dressing on top.

Questions:

1) tried to look for fresh green beans but couldnt find. only frozen. Do I need to unfreeze them completely before putting in slow cooker? google giving very different ideas

2) when do I add green beans? cooked on low for 7h and green beans may or may not (I am terrible at cooking so wasnt easy to tell) have overcooked. Should I take lid off at some point to add green beans instead? at what point in that 7h cooking?

3) On my first try couple monthes back, I used carrots and they didnt taste good at all. In general I like carrots and have some nostalgia for them lol. But can I just randomly add them in this recipe? Or it should replace something?

Thank you very much
