One Pan Dinner...

We all have those days when we come home exhausted from work and just feel like sitting down to do NOTHING!  We sit there and ask ourselves "What's for dinner?" because we don't wanna get off the couch.  Here's an easy recipe that cooks in ONE PAN!  It won't dirty up that many dishes, and it doesn't use that many ingredients either.

I'm going for about four servings here, but you can add or remove to serve your family.  I used four boneless/skinless chicken breasts, one head of broccoli and about three baking potatoes.  Cut the broccoli off the stems, and dice the potatoes up.  Arrange the three items in a 9x13 baking pan like I did below.

Now to season the meal.  I used salt and pepper and a little bit of garlic powder.  Next, you sprinkle an entire packet of Italian dressing mix all over.  You can get that in the aisle with the salad dressings.  It's usually next to the Hidden Valley Ranch mix packets.  Top shelf of the aisle maybe?

That's it!  Cover the entire pan tightly in tin foil and pop it in the oven.  Set it to around 400°F for about an hour.  You want to make sure the potatoes are fork tender, and that the chicken is cooked through completely (food thermometer is a good tool to have).

This is delicious!  Everything is cooked just perfectly.  The chicken is so moist.  Adding the Italian dressing mix gives it an awesome flavor too.  I would think you could substitute the Italian mix for the ranch mix or any other packet of seasoning.  Mix it up!  Recipes are merely guidelines for the kitchen.  If you don't experiment, you're not having fun!!


Until next time...Ya'll come back now, ya hear?
