How to Make Italian Chicken Potatoes and Green Beans in the Oven
First, you’ll wash and cut the potatoes and green beans and slice the chicken into smaller pieces. Next, add some of the oil to the baking pan, then add the chicken and potatoes. Add about half of the seasoning packet, then add the beans. Add the remaining oil and seasoning and top with the butter. Cover, and bake for 45 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until fully cooked.
Recipe Tips
Be sure to cut the potatoes into small quarters so they cook evenly.
You don’t need to cut the chicken into small pieces. I usually cut each breast into thirds.
There’s no need to add any extra liquid. The butter and oil, plus the juices from the chicken are enough to make a light sauce.
