Ingredients

Scale

Main Proteins:

  • 3 chicken breasts, cubed

Starches and Vegetables:

  • 5 small to medium potatoes, diced
  • 12 cans green beans

Seasonings and Fats:

  • 1 packet dry Italian dressing mix
  • 1 stick of butter, melted (113 grams / 4 ounces)

Instructions

  1. Arrange cubed chicken, diced potatoes, and green beans in a spacious baking dish, ensuring even distribution.
  2. Generously sprinkle dry Italian dressing mix across the ingredients, coating them thoroughly for maximum flavor infusion.
  3. Drizzle melted butter uniformly over the entire mixture, creating a rich, glossy layer that will enhance taste and prevent drying.
  4. Securely cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, creating a sealed environment that traps moisture and promotes even cooking.
  5. Place the covered dish in a preheated 350°F oven, allowing the ingredients to bake and meld together for approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes.
  6. Verify chicken is fully cooked by checking internal temperature reaches 165°F and potatoes are fork-tender.
  7. Remove from oven, let the dish rest for 3-5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute, then serve immediately while still piping hot.

Notes

  • Opt for boneless, skinless chicken breasts to ensure even cooking and easier slicing.
  • Dice potatoes uniformly to guarantee consistent texture and prevent uneven cooking.
  • Swap green beans with seasonal vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers for variety and extra nutrition.
  • Use gluten-free Italian dressing mix to make the dish suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
