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.

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

  • 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:

  • Extra potatoes
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 about 3x of the recipe: used fresh garlic, a fresh yellow onion, about two cups of chicken broth, 8 lbs of boneless breast, 3 lbs of new Michigan potatoes, 1 lb 6 oz of fresh green beans, pepper, kosher salt, oregono, 1/3 cup of virgin olive oil, 1/3 cup of lemon juice (from a bottle lol), and then slow cooked it in my 10 qt cooker for 7 hours. Talk about good….crazy good. Left-overs are going into a batch of home made chicken noodle soup tomorrow.

    Family was attacking it with glee. Glad I made a large batch

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      Sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing. Soup is a great idea.

    I had leftover chicken tenders, so I tried this recipe. WOW!! So delicious and easy to prep! The marinade was the best! I’m now thinking of other foods it could go on!!

    Iโ€™m going to try this this week. Cant find the original recipe I saved. It used cream of celery soup! Can I use cream of mushroom/chicken soup and also add fresh mushrooms? Should I add any additional seasonings? I canโ€™t wait to try it!

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      Hi! You can make it however you want, I can’t say without testing it. I would add seasonings though.

  4. Cyndi says:

    What & how much can I use in place of lemon juice? Can I use regular russet pitatoes?

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      You could use a touch of chicken broth, I do not have an amount for I have not tested it. Yes you can use regular russet potatoes.

  5. Allyson says:

    Hi, I didnโ€™t realize until it was too late that it called for the Italian seasoning mix instead of the homemade dressing. I thought it was just a bottle of Italian dressing which I got. Has anyone tried it with an Italian dressing bottle instead?

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      You can use the bottled stuff, skip all the other dressing ingredients.

  6. M Scott says:

    Hi. If I use Italian seasoning and the melted butter you mentioned- do I still use any of the other ingredients ( specifically the lemon juice)?
    Thanks.

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      You can leave the lemon juice out for that version.

  7. Alyssa says:

    Can you use Frozen chicken breast? If so, what needs to change about cooking?

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      I only test my recipes with thawed meats for some studies suggest it isn’t safe to cook from frozen.

  8. Renee says:

    can I put in more than the potatoes and green beans like broccoli and carrots also

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      Yes, that will work fine.

  9. Anna Taylor says:

    What season do I use on the chicken before I put butter, Italian dressing mix ,potatoes and green beans

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      You don’t have to add any as the seasoning packet has the seasonings you need.

  10. Marilyn Shuffler says:

    Just wondering if you can use frozen green beans instead of fresh in your recipe?

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      Yes, frozen green beans work great in this recipe!
