Ingredients:

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 1 large can green beans, drained
  • 1 small can green beans, drained
  • 1 packet Italian dressing
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the baking sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, toss the chicken, potatoes, and both cans of green beans with the Italian dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Spread evenly: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and distribute it evenly.
  5. Drizzle with butter: Pour the melted butter over the chicken, potatoes, and green beans.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For extra flavor, consider using a homemade Italian dressing or adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the baking sheet.
  • To add a touch of spice, sprinkle red pepper flakes over the dish before baking.
  • For a crunchier texture, roast the potatoes separately for a shorter amount of time before adding them to the baking sheet.
  • If you prefer, you can substitute red potatoes with sweet potatoes for a sweeter flavor.
  • This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled to accommodate larger crowds.

Enjoy your delicious and effortless one-pan chicken dinner!
