Recipe :: PoChiBeans

Yep.  You read that right.  Po-Chi-Beans.  Pochibeans.  It's short for potatoes, chicken, and green beans and it is my favoritest meal to make for Husband and me on weeknights.  And I make it so often, I figured I should share it with you here.  You can also find multiple recipes on Pinterest, like this one.  So easy, and so so so delish.
Here's what you do:

*4-6 raw chicken breasts
2-3 large potatoes
2 cans green beans
1 stick butter
1 pkg Italian dressing mix, powder

Line up the chicken breasts down the middle of a 9x13 pan (longwise).  Fill one side with cut potatoes, the other side with green beans.  Top with melted butter.  Sprinkle dressing mix over the top.  Cover with tin foil.  Cook at 350 for **1 hour.

*Since we have this recipe at least once a week at my house, we have discovered that we prefer a higher vegetable ratio.  We actually only use 1-2 chicken breasts, because we prefer more veggies and less meat.  So feel free to experiment.  Also feel free to experiment with the veggies.  We stick with beans because we love them, but I had a roommate try it with broccoli and it was also quite tasty.  She also used ranch dressing instead of Italian.  This recipe is so easy, folks, get creative! :)
**We also discovered (quite by accident) that everything is much more juicy, much more flavorful, and much more tender if you let it cook for 1 hour 30 minutes.  If you don't have time, 1 hour is still pretty awesome, but the best is 1 hour 30 minutes.

It also makes excellent leftovers.  Win!
