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
- Arrange the potatoes on one side of the baking dish.
- Place the chicken cubes in the middle section.
- Add the drained green beans to the remaining section.
This layering method allows for each component to cook evenly while keeping the flavors distinct.
