Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 4 cups red potatoes, quartered
  • 2 cans cut green beans, drained

Protein

  • 1 to 1 1/2 lb chicken breasts (about 4 breasts)

Other Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 1/2 packets Italian dressing seasoning/mix

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the chicken and vegetables thoroughly and evenly.
  2. Prepare the Baking Dish. In a large baking dish, line one side with the drained green beans. On the opposite side, arrange the quartered red potatoes evenly.
  3. Arrange Chicken. Place the chicken breasts down the center of the baking dish between the green beans and potatoes, creating three distinct sections.
  4. Add Butter. Cut the stick of butter into pieces and evenly distribute the butter over the green beans, potatoes, and chicken to add moisture and flavor during baking.
  5. Season. Sprinkle 1 1/2 packets of Italian dressing seasoning mix over the entire contents in the baking dish to infuse the dish with classic Italian herb and spice flavors.
  6. Cover and Bake. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap steam and keep the chicken juicy. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, remove the foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
  • You can substitute fresh green beans for canned, but adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • Use skinless, boneless chicken breasts for more even cooking.
  • Serve with a side salad or crusty bread to complete the meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
