5 Ingredient Complete Chicken Dinner!

I have seen lots of chicken dinners in a casserole dish. My mom used to make a fail-proof chicken, green bean, and potato bake when she would host "Senior Luncheon" at our church. Her version consisted of a lot of butter and dry Italian dressing packets instead of a bottle of Italian dressing. I won't lie, I loved her version! But, for the sake of not using an entire pound of butter in one dish, I opted for a slimmer version using one of our favorite Italian dressings, which has lower fat and great flavor. As noted in the title, this recipe has 5, that's right FIVE, ingredients. It takes about five minutes to chop the onion and potatoes, and completely assemble the dish. That is a quick fix on any night! Of course, I always encourage you to use good whole ingredients, and organic, grass-fed or free-range when you can!

For this recipe, you will need:

Two pounds of chicken
4 Cups of frozen green beans
6 Medium Gold Potatoes
1 Medium Onion
1 bottle of Italian Dressing

First, chop your potatoes and onions. The cut is your preference.

Place you chicken in the center of a 9x13 baking dish. No greasing or oiling the pan.

On one side of the chicken, add in your four cups of green beans.

Add chopped potatoes to the other side.

Sprinkle chopped onion over entire pan.

Now, add entire bottle of Italian dressing to the pan to cover. Don't worry about mixing and stirring!! 


Finally, place this dish in a 350 degree oven, and cook for approximately one hour, or until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
