Tools You’ll Need
- Baking dish (9×13-inch recommended)
- Sharp knife for cubing chicken and dicing potatoes
- Aluminum foil for covering the dish
- Small bowl for melting butter
- Spatula or tongs for serving
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
2. Arrange Ingredients
Place the cubed chicken, diced potatoes, and green beans in separate sections within the baking dish.
3. Season and Coat
Sprinkle the Italian dressing mix evenly over the chicken, potatoes, and green beans. Drizzle melted butter over the top, ensuring all ingredients are well-coated.
4. Bake
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30–35 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and the potatoes are tender.
5. Serve
Let the dish cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a standalone meal or pair it with a side salad or warm dinner rolls.
