I’ve seen oven versions of this recipe, but most include an Italian dressing seasoning packet.

Instead of using a seasoning packet to flavor the sauce in this dish, I make a simple mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and dried seasonings.

How to make a one pot chicken dinner:

  • Boneless skinless chicken breasts – Can use chicken thighs or tenders.
  • Fresh green beans – Frozen works well too.
  • Red Potatoes – Cut into quarters or about 1/2 inch pieces.
  • Homemade Italian dressing – Super quick to make, see my recipe below.

For the homemade dressing:

  • Fresh lemon juice
  • Olive oil
  • Oregano
  • Salt and pepper
  • Onion powder
  • Minced garlic

Can I use lemon juice out of a squeeze bottle?

  • No. This recipe isn’t the time or place to use squeeze bottle lemon juice; the recipe will taste off if you use it.
  • Lemons are cheap, be sure to grab them at the store.

Can I use a different vegetable than green beans?

Yes! If you aren’t a green bean fan, then try one of these substitutes.

  • Broccoli 
  • Asparagus
  • Canned or fresh corn
  • Baby carrots or sliced carrots
  • Extra potatoes

Can I use the Italian dressing mix instead of making the homemade dressing?

  • Yes! You can forgo all the dressing ingredients and drizzle a half cup of butter over the seasoned chicken, potatoes and green beans then sprinkle an Italian dressing mix over.
  • Follow the same cooking directions below.
  • You can find the Italian dressing mix on the salad dressing aisle next to the ranch dressing packets.

  • Follow the same cooking directions below.
  • You can find the Italian dressing mix on the salad dressing aisle next to the ranch dressing packets.
Can I use a different vegetable?
Yes! If you aren’t a green bean fan, then try one of these substitutes:

Why can’t I use bottled lemon juice?
  • Bottled lemon juice in recipes can taste bitter.
  • This recipe has been tested with fresh lemon juice. Many reviews who have used bottled instead have not liked the meal for the flavor of the bottled lemon juice isn’t right for this recipe.

    I made this recipe.. It was delicious! I added a tsp of paprika when it was done. I chopped up some fresh thyme, about a tablespoon to the sauce. Sprinkled a couple tablespoons of Parmesan cheese to it as well.
    Delicious!
