Chicken, potatoes, and green beans!

I was in a hurry this week and I had to fix something quick and easy. I really love chicken. I could really eat it at every meal. I'm always looking for different spices and stuff to add. I usually have many random sides too. Like I said in an earlier post, I love casseroles: making it all together in one pan is so easy! So this time, I made my chicken and my sides all together in a casserole type dish!

What you need:
4 medium potatoes, cut
2 c. green beans
1 lb chicken breasts
1/2 c. butter
1 package Italian dressing mix
*I added some water as well

Directions:
Line one side of the pan with green beans.
Cut potatoes up. Line opposite side of pan with the potatoes.
Line the chicken breasts down the middle of the baking dish.
Cut butter up and layer over the green beans, potatoes and chicken.
Sprinkle Italian dressing over the entire pan.
Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 1 hour



This was an easy and really good recipe! I was surprised that it turned out so good though since I did it so quickly and I didn't feel like Italian dressing mix would be enough. But, I definitely loved the mix on everything! It gave a really great taste on my green beans, too. My family liked it and suggested I do ranch seasoning mix next!

Baked Chicken Alfredo!

Whenever i'm trying to figure out what to cook, I always tend to go towards casseroles! I don't know why, but if that's an option, then that's what I will choose. I absolutely love chicken alfredo, so as soon as I saw this recipe I knew I was going to make it. It only has a few ingredients too! I love when they're quick and easy!

What you need:
2 cups of uncooked, diced chicken
16 oz box of noodles
16 oz jar of alfredo sauce
1 cup of mixed Italian cheese
*Salt and garlic powder are optional

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Boil 4 quartz of water and add the entire box noodles (cook for about 10-15 minutes)
In a separate bowl, mix your jar of alfredo, cheese, chicken, garlic and salt.
Add your noodles to the bowl
Pour all of this into a 9x13 inch pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes

This is my finished product (:
