A Full Meal Deal

Once upon a time, long long ago

when our girls were in their preschool days
(at 'Sank Luke's' Mother's Day Out),
I had a very special friend who was an amazing cook.
I'm quite sure she is still an amazing cook...

 she is also a fab wife, mom and violin player!!!
She introduced me to sooo many great recipes,
including her no egg tuna fish. 
Stay tuned for THAT blog one day.
This 'Full Meal Deal' recipe is now
all over Pinterest.  So funny actually.
One of the easiest and simplest recipes ever
and more importantly, scrumptious.
The original recipe given to me over 15 years ago
was simply chicken, potatoes, corn, green beans
sprinkled with a packet of Good Seasons
Italian Dressing Mix.  In these 'modern times,'
I omitted the corn and used frozen whole green beans
and all was well with the world.
Now we use homemade Italian Dressing Mix, whoop!

WHAT YOU NEED:

-- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
-- 1 bag frozen/thawed fresh green beans
(the original recipe called for 1 can green beans
and 1 can whole kernel corn - either is fine)

-- 4-5 medium size baking potatoes
(more if you use red potatoes)

-- 1 (or 2) packets Good Seasons Italian Dressing Mix
(Zesty Italian is great as well)

-- Butter - we went a little crazy

WHAT TO DO:

Begin by preheating the oven to 350.
Spray a 13x9 baking dish with non-stick spray.

Lay the ingredients listed in 3 rows or sections
of the pan (4 if using corn).
Sprinkle all liberally with the dressing mix
and dot all with butter.
Bake covered for appx 45 minutes or more
if your pan is extra crowded.

This recipe can be increased quite easily
when you have an extra mouth or two to feed.
Measurements do not have to be exact here.

Remove covering and let bake a few more minutes.
Mmmm enjoy your super easy meal.
Throw in some yummy yeast rolls and you have
a Full Meal Deal!

ENJOY!!!
