This Italian tray bake is an easy, family-friendly dinner you can make on one sheet pan. Tender boneless chicken cooks alongside green beans and red-skinned potatoes in a buttery, zesty Italian seasoning sauce. The chicken’s juices blend with the butter and dressing mix to create a simple, flavorful sauce that coats the vegetables and keeps the meat moist.

Why I love this recipe
Everything roasts together on one pan, so flavors mingle and cleanup is minimal. The combination of butter and Italian dressing mix yields a bright, savory sauce that bastes the chicken and seasons the potatoes and beans.

Substitutions
If you prefer darker meat, use boneless chicken thighs instead of breasts; they stay moist and add extra flavor.
How to make Italian Chicken Tray Bake
Step 1 – Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2 – Spray a large baking sheet with non-stick spray or lightly oil it.
Step 3 – On a cutting board, cut the red-skinned potatoes into ½-inch cubes.
Step 4 – Arrange the cut chicken breasts (or thighs), green beans, and potatoes on the sheet pan in a single layer, close but not overlapping.
Step 5 – In a small bowl, melt the butter, then whisk in the zesty Italian dressing mix until smooth.
Step 6 – Drizzle the butter and dressing mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables, making sure everything is coated.
Step 7 – Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 50 minutes.
Step 8 – Remove the foil and bake 10 more minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the potatoes are tender and golden.
