What is Italian dressing mix?

This dry seasoning blend is made with herbs and spices like garlic, onion, oregano, and parsley and the packets can be found in the salad dressing aisle of your local grocery store. Although typically mixed with oil and vinegar to make a classic Italian dressing, it’s a quick way to add bold flavor to chicken and vegetables.

Chicken Potato Green Bean Bake Ingredients Needed

Chicken breasts: Two pounds of boneless skinless breasts is usually 4 to 6 pieces depending on the size of the individual pieces. Boneless and skinless chicken works best for this recipe.
Baby potatoes: I like to use smaller potatoes like fingerlings or baby golds or red potatoes. Slice them in half (or quarters/bite-sized pieces if using larger potatoes) so they crisp at the edges and roast faster.
Green beans: Fresh beans are best but you can substitute with frozen, or 1-2 cans if that’s what you have on hand. If using fresh, make sure you trim and discard the tough ends.
Italian dressing mix: Get the dry seasoning mix, not the bottle of pre-made dressing (save that for California Spaghetti Salad!).
Butter: Drizzled over the seasoning to add richness while the dish bakes. Use salted or unsalted, whichever you have on hand.

How to Make Chicken Potatoes and Green Beans

Begin by preheating the oven and greasing a baking dish.

Arrange your chicken pieces, potatoes and green beans in the baking dish, spacing them out as much as you can.

Sprinkle the dry dressing mix over everything and then drizzle the melted butter on top of that.

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake it in the oven, removing the foil near the end of the cooking time so the chicken can brown.

Make sure the internal chicken temperature reads 165°F before serving (I use this thermometer). If you have to cook it a little longer and the dish starts to brown quickly, you can cover it with foil again.

Tips for Making Chicken Green Bean Potato Bake

I typically use a 9×13 casserole dish lightly sprayed with nonstick cooking spray but you can also use a sheet pan. The baking sheet gives you more surface area, so you can spread everything out to encourage it to roast instead of steaming.
Chicken breasts can vary in thickness so you may want to cut them in half if they’re really big.
Pat the chicken dry before adding the dressing packet, as this helps the seasonings stick.
Don’t worry if you’ve eyeballed your veggies instead of getting out the scale. This recipe doesn’t have to be measured perfectly.
Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking for even browning.
If you’re a cheese lover, feel free to top the finished meal with a sprinkling of grated parmesan or shredded mozzarella cheese.

Recipe Substitutions & Variations

Swap the chicken breasts for boneless chicken thighs for a juicier result.
Try sweet potatoes instead of baby potatoes. Cut them into small pieces so they cook at the same rate as the chicken and green beans.
Add sliced red onion, mushrooms or Brussels sprouts if you want more color (and to use up those veggies at the back of the crisper drawer!)
Swap the Italian dressing mix for lemon pepper or Cajun seasoning for a different flavor profile. My homemade taco seasoning is another flavorful idea.

Can I make Italian chicken potatoes and green beans ahead of time?

Yes, you can! Prepare your ingredients and assemble everything in the baking dish. Cover with foil or plastic wrap (remove plastic wrap and cover with foil before baking) and refrigerate for up to a day before baking. If you do this, I recommend you let the dish sit at room temperature while the oven is heating up.

What to Serve with Oven Baked Chicken Potatoes and Green Beans

Since this recipe already has a protein, veggies and potatoes, you don’t have to make another side dish. But you could always serve it with a bowl of Fruit Salad, a batch of Copycat Texas Roadhouse Rolls or a mixed baby greens salad topped with my Creamy House Dressing if you like. Finish the meal with a simple dessert such as Chocolate Raspberry Bars.

How to Store Leftover Italian Chicken with Vegetables

Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and eat within 4 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven until warmed through.

Can I freeze chicken and potatoes with green beans?

You can. Let it cool completely and then freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 months, thawing it in the fridge overnight before reheating in the microwave or on the stovetop.

Italian Chicken Potatoes and Green Beans FAQs

How do I make sure the chicken doesn’t dry out?
Avoid overcooking the chicken. Once it reaches 165°F in the thickest part, it’s done. Also, let the cooked chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing, so the juices can redistribute.

Would frozen green beans work?
They do, but I recommend you thaw them and pat dry first, otherwise they will release excess moisture in the pan which will keep the potatoes from crisping up on the bottoms. Another idea is canned green beans, just make sure they’re well-drained before baking.

This Italian chicken potato green bean bake is an easy one pot meal made with simple ingredients. You can customize it depending on what you have on hand and it’s an easy weeknight dinner when you want something warm, filling and delicious without having to go to much effort in the kitchen.
