Scale
Main Protein:
- 23 chicken breasts, cubed
- 12.7 kilograms (28 pounds) chicken breasts
Vegetables and Starch:

- 19.5 kilograms (43 pounds) potatoes
- 1 12 cans green beans, drained
- 0.56 kilograms (19.75 ounces) green beans
Seasoning and Binding:
- 1 package dry Italian dressing mix
- 1 stick of butter, melted
- 113 grams (4 ounces) butter
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a moderate temperature of 350°F, preparing a spacious baking vessel for the culinary ensemble.
- Distribute chunky chicken morsels, rustic potato cubes, and tender green beans evenly across the baking pan’s surface.
- Generously dust the entire mixture with aromatic Italian seasoning blend, ensuring comprehensive flavor penetration.
- Cascade melted butter across the arranged ingredients, creating a glistening protective layer that will enhance moisture and richness.
- Shield the pan completely with aluminum foil, creating a sealed environment for thorough cooking and ingredient melding.
- Roast the composition for approximately 70 minutes, allowing the chicken to become impeccably tender and vegetables to absorb robust seasonings.
- Carefully remove the foil covering, permitting slight cooling to help flavors settle and making serving more manageable.
- Plate the fragrant chicken and vegetable medley, presenting a harmonious blend of textures and complementary ingredients.
Notes
- Optimize chicken tenderness by cutting into uniform, bite-sized cubes for even cooking and consistent texture.
- Enhance flavor depth by allowing Italian dressing mix to marinate chicken for 15-30 minutes before baking, intensifying seasoning absorption.
- Ensure vegetable doneness by cutting potatoes and green beans into similar-sized pieces, promoting balanced cooking and preventing mushiness.
- Adapt recipe for gluten-free diets by using certified gluten-free Italian dressing mix and checking butter ingredients for potential gluten contamination.
