Easy Oven Italian Chicken Potato and Green Bean Bake

Oven Italian Chicken and Potato Green Bean Bake


Last week my son and I went to one of the local farms so that he could play in the "corn box" with the tractors. He loves tractors and they have a fun little set up. I agreed but when we got there I insisted that we buy something first because we couldn't just play with the corn box. We picked red skin potatoes and fresh green beans. When we brought them home that day I decided I would make them for dinner that night. We had a few packets of Good Seasons Italian Dressing dressing laying around so I went for it and things turned out VERY GOOD!

Needed ingredients
2 boneless chicken breasts
2 packets of Good Seasoning Italian Dressing 
1 lb fresh green beans
6 small red skin potatoes

Directions 
1. Prepare the Good Seasons Dressing mix according to the package
2. Cut chicken and place in a bowl to marinde - use half of the prepared marinade on the chicken
3. Cut potatoes into wedges and trim the ends off of the green beans then place into a seperate bowl and pour remaining marinade over to cover. Stir to coat potatoes and green beans. 
4. Place in the fridge for 1 hr to flavor
5. Combine all ingredients into a 13x9 glass baking pan 
6. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hr at 375 degrees

Grilled Green Beans

Grilled Green Beans 

Last nights dinner - grilled green beans, steak, grilled onions and brown rice 

Not sure why but I have never tried to make green beans on the grill but last night I decided to go for it. I wrapped the washed and sliced beans in foil making almost like a pocket for them to cook in. Wrapped it twice so nothing would spill out and cooked it. They did take 35 mins so plan ahead if you are going to give it a try. They turned out great and even my husband said they were good and he is not a huge fan of fresh green beans. 

Here is what you will need:

1lb of fresh green beans
2oz of extra virgin olive oil 
1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon of rosemary 
1/2 teaspoon of dried basil 
1/8 of a cup of parmesan cheese

Directions 
Heat grill to 450 degrees 
Wash green beans and trim edges of the beans
Create a rectangular packet double lined with foil
In a small bowl mix together olive oil and dry ingredients stir and put green beans in the mixture coating the green beans. 
Place in the foil and sprinkle with the parm cheese 
Place on the grill and turn every 5 minutes for 35 minutes. 
Enjoy!
