Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
- 2 cups fresh green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
Protein
- 1 lb chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
Seasoning & Fats
- 1/2 cup butter, cut into small pieces
- 0.7 oz package dry Italian dressing mix
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables and chicken: Cut the green beans into 1-inch pieces and dice the potatoes into chunks. Pound the chicken breasts to an even 1/2-inch thickness to ensure even cooking.
- Arrange the ingredients in the baking dish: In a baking dish, line one side with the green beans and the opposite side with the diced potatoes. Place the pounded chicken breasts down the middle of the dish.
- Add butter and seasonings: Distribute the butter pieces evenly over the green beans, potatoes, and chicken. Sprinkle the dry Italian dressing mix evenly over the entire dish to infuse the flavors.
- Bake: Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Notes
- For even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to uniform thickness.
- Covering the dish with foil helps keep moisture in for tender results.
- You can substitute fresh green beans with frozen if fresh are unavailable.
- Serve this dish on its own or pair it with a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
