My friend made us this one dish chicken & veggie bake and let me just tell you it was incredible. It seems unassuming, but it is packed full of flavor. The best part is you only use one dish and you bake the chicken & the veggies all together, which makes it so easy! Every bite was mouthwateringly delicious!
One Dish Chicken & Veggie Bake
Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts
1 1/2 packets dry ranch dressing mix
3 cans green beans, drained
2 1/2 lbs. red potatoes, diced
1 tsp. salt
1 stick butter, melted
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray.
On one half of the dish, spread your diced potatoes, then on the other half spread your green beans. Place chicken breasts down the center. Sprinkle the dry ranch dressing mix evenly over top of the entire dish, and sprinkle evenly with the salt. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over top of everything.
Bake for approximately 1 hour, until chicken is cooked through and everything is bubbly. Serve immediately.

This looks delicious! I love one dish meals – and love the simplicity of it! Now, I’ve got to mix up some ranch dressing mix!
Thanks Laura! Me too, I totally need to use homemade ranch mix next time!
I LOVE how simple this recipe makes things! A whole dinner in one dish! GENIUS!
Thanks Kayle! One dish dinners are the best!
What a great friend! I’m trying this one next week! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Yes she is! Hope you enjoy it!!:)
I have a feeling this might get made tonight. I was just scouring my pinterest boards but this one looks the most balanced (as opposed to the desserts & pasta dishes i typically pin 😉 )
I don’t pin too many balanced meals either, haha! Mostly cheesy dishes and decadent treats!
I lovE one dish dinners! Less clean up is always a good thing. I wonder how this would work with frozen green beans.
I used frozen whole green beans & it worked beautifully 🙂
So glad to know they worked great! Thanks for letting me know!
Yes, less clean up is always great! Another reader used frozen green beans and she said they worked great.
i love one dish meals…and this one looks so pretty!!!!
Thank you so much Angela!
I just love everything you make!! I have a couple of questions! first, would it be ok to use frozen green beans? if so, would it be a pound of frozen green beans? and would i need to thaw them before assembling the dish? also, do you think i could use sweet potatoes instead of red potatoes? I really don’t know much about cooking~~ Would really appreciate your help! 🙂
Thank you so much Ann! Another reader commented that she made them with frozen green beans and they worked great. I’m not sure about how the sweet potatoes would taste with the ranch. Hope that helps!
i have some friends who make this all the time but i’ve never tried it. will have to now 🙂
Oh you definitely should, you will love it!
I was so excited to try this i must have done something wrong. I cooked it for over 2.5 hoUrs and it was still cold and raw. What happened?
I’m so sorry it didn’t work for you! Mine cooked completely through after an hour and I even used large chicken breasts. I’m not sure what could’ve happened, unless the temperature of your oven runs cold possibly?
I made this for dinner last night. It is ridiculously easy and very tasty. This will be on our dinner rotation from now on. This is the perfect weeknight meal for anyone, but especially for those on the go. I used unsalted butter and everything turned out perfectly cooked after one hour. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Thanks for this recipe! It came out great and ALL the kids loved it! Which is rare, so thank you again. I used white potatoes instead of red because that’s what I had on hand and i forgot the salt, but it was still yummy!
Also, if anyone is thinking that 3 cans of green beans is too much, like I did, no. Use all 3. The green beans were my favorite part of this and I want more.
I’m so glad your whole family loved it!!
Steph! THIS WAS AMAZING. I’m ALL ABOUT SIMPLICITY SINCE WES COACHES AND IT’S HARD TO COOK WITH A THREE YEAR OLD WRAPPED AROUND YOUR ANKLE. 🙂 EASY PREP, EASY COOK, AND GOOD EATIN’. HOOK A SISTA UP WITH MORE STUFF LIKE THIS! HOPE YOU AND BABY GIRL ARE DOING WELL! <3
Yay!! I’m so glad you all loved it Hillary! I will try to post more things like this! We need to get together soon! Love you!
I only have frozen chicken breasts and fresh veggies. what should I do?
Thaw out the chicken breasts and use as directed in the recipe. The fresh veggies should work great too, just use enough to fill one third of your baking dish. Hope you enjoy!
This turned out great for me but I modified it based on what I had. I used Fresh green beans instead of canned. I also didnt have a ranch packet but intead had a pesto seasoning packet so i used that! I sprinkled some minced garlic on top and some lemon juice as well! I will definitely be making this again the correct way and my cheating way.
Thank you for the great/easy idea!
Glad you enjoyed it and I love your modifications!
Do you cover this or leave it uncovered? How do you keep the chicken from drying out? Thanks for the info
I leave it uncovered, but you can tent it with foil to help keep some of the moisture in, the butter makes this dish incredibly moist! Hope you enjoy!
Hi! I’m maKing this as we speak! My ranch mix seems to be heavy chunks of mix scattered arOund. Can i mix the gReen beans and the potatoes together To even it all Out?
Sorry I’m just seeing this Amanda! You could mix them together, no problem! Hope it turned out great for you!
Thanks for posting this recipe. I made it tonight for our church community group and it was a hit! as you said, it is packed full of flavor and super easy. I baked it (uncovered) for about 35 minutes before I had to leave, so i finished baking it at the hostess’s home. we got to talking and left it in the oven for an hour! the chicken was nicely browned and despite the additional 30 minutes and it was not dried out at all. thanks again!
Great!! So glad everyone loved it Dawn!
