Pinterest strikes again


So every woman out there knows about pinterest and how addicting it can be. If not head over to pinterest.com and start looking at all the cool ideas they have. Trust me you can be on there for hours. I know I can.

I like going on pinterest and getting tons of ideas but the one I love the most is different dishes to make for my family for dinner. Last night I tried a chicken, potatoes and green beans dish. Well my husband hates green beans and he wanted me to change it to broccoli but I hate broccoli so what I did is doubled up on potatoes (if you know me I will choose potatoes over anything) and I made cream corn on the side. Let me tell you my husband loved this! He said I kid you not "this is probably the best dish you ever made" lol It's quick, easy, inexpensive and little clean up.

Ingredients:

3-4 Skinless Chicken Breasts

Red potatoes, cut into quarters ( I used rustic potatoes works just as good)

Green Beans (frozen, canned, or fresh)

1/2 stick of melted butter (I miss read this and used a whole stick. The more butter the better I say)

1 packet of Italian dressing mix ( or any seasoning mix)

Directions:

Arrange in 9x13 dish. Potatoes on one side, chicken in the middle and green beans on the other side. Sprinkle with a packet of the Italian dressing mix and then top with a melted stick of butter. Cover with foil and bake at 350F for 1 hour. Enjoy!

Now my version is not the healthiest but the little bit of butter helped and I love potatoes over anything else and I just had cream corn on hand and that's what my family likes. You can use different veggies that fit for your family. I also used 2 big chicken breast and just cut them in half. They were the perfect size and it was enough food with left overs for my husband, toddler and I. I also sprinkled a little salt and pepper over the entire dish. I hope you enjoy this dish as much as me and my family did. I will for sure be putting this dish in the dinner rotation.


My version of the dish (I forgot to take a pic till after we starting digging in)
