Hearty Chicken and Potato Bake: A Comforting One-Pan Meal

To prepare this dish, you’ll need:

  • 2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 3-5 small to medium potatoes, diced
  • 1 ½ cans (about 22 oz) green beans, drained
  • 1 packet dry Italian dressing mix
  • 1 stick (½ cup) butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for a smoky touch)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Ingredients

  • Wash and dice the potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients, or peel them for a smoother finish.
  • Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
  • Drain the green beans thoroughly.

Step 3: Layer the Ingredients

  1. Arrange the potatoes on one side of the baking dish.
  2. Place the chicken cubes in the middle section.
  3. Add the drained green beans to the remaining section.

This layering method allows for each component to cook evenly while keeping the flavors distinct.
