Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 2-3 Chicken Breasts, cubed

Vegetables

  • 3-5 Small to Medium Potatoes, diced
  • 2 Cans Green Beans (drained) or 1 1/2 cans

Seasoning and Fats

  • 1 Package Dry Italian Dressing Mix
  • 1 Stick of Butter (melted, about 8 tablespoons)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dish evenly.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large baking pan, place the cubed chicken breasts, diced potatoes, and drained green beans, distributing them evenly.
  3. Season: Sprinkle the entire package of dry Italian dressing mix evenly over the chicken, potatoes, and green beans to infuse the dish with bold Italian flavors.
  4. Add Butter: Drizzle the melted stick of butter evenly over all the ingredients in the baking pan to add richness and help with browning during baking.
  5. Cover and Bake: Cover the baking pan tightly with aluminum foil to keep moisture in, then bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes, allowing the chicken to cook through and the potatoes to become tender.
  6. Serve: Remove the foil carefully, check that everything is cooked through, then serve hot and enjoy your flavorful Italian chicken and vegetable bake.

Notes

  • You can use fresh green beans instead of canned; just steam or blanch them slightly before adding to the bake to ensure tenderness.
  • Feel free to substitute chicken thighs if you prefer darker meat with more moisture.
  • For a crispier top, remove the foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
  • This dish can also be prepared a day ahead by combining all ingredients, covering, and refrigerating before baking.
  • Make sure the chicken is fully cooked by checking its internal temperature (165°F/74°C) before serving.
