what am i eating?

thought i'd share an easy and yummy recipe with you tonight, so here goes:

{italian chicken and potatoes -- richards' family version}

you will need:
1 lb of chicken breast
bag of potatoes
italian salad dressing {i love zesty italian by kraft, or any store brand similar to it}

you can add to your liking:
1 onion
1 red pepper
sprinkled parmesean cheese (**added in the last 10-15 minutes of cooking)
fresh green beans

directions:
- preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- line a glass baking dish with aluminum foil. it makes for easier clean-up!
- pour some dressing into the bottom just to coat it so the chicken doesn't dry out on the bottom.
- place your chicken breasts into the dish.
- cut your potatoes {as many as can fill the rest of the dish} into cubes {1" cubes or a little smaller work best!} and place around and on top of the chicken.
- if you are adding peppers/onions, do that now as well.
- pour enough dressing over the meal to coat the tops of everything.
- place in the oven and cook for 1 hour. if you are adding parmesean cheese sprinkles, do that when there's about 10 minutes left on the timer.

{mom never did the next step, but i like to!}
- cut the ends off of the fresh green beans.
- in a skillet, pour a little dressing and put a dollop of butter.
- place the green beans in the skillet on the stove just long enough for them to get hot and a little softer...but you still want them to crunch! the dressing gives them a hint of italian flavor as well.

and...voila!

let me know what you think! such an easy recipe and soooo yum:)
