I love the whole concept of Sunday supper. A cozy meal served in the warmth of home with family gathered around the table. My weekends have evolved in the past few years into a routine spent not in my own suburban home but in the semi rural home of a dear friend. He has opened his home and his heart to my family and this is where we gather on a Sunday. With several adult children and two active teens it is hard to bring everyone around the table on a regular basis but we do try to get everyone together here as often as possible. When it is just ourselves however I still make the effort to create a special meal.
Today it is unusually chilly for the beginning of October, a temperature hovering around the mid 40s with dark clouds and occasional spatterings of rain. This is the weather that makes me turn to recipes that are comforting and filling to warm up the old empty places inside.
Today's recipe is a fairly new one, this is only my third time making it but it is exceptional in its simplicity.
One Dish Chicken Dinner:
Serves 4-6
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1-2 lbs.french cut green beans (canned or frozen)
2 lbs. new potatoes, cut in half
1 stick butter, melted
2 tsp. Italian seasoning
2 cloves garlic, pressed
In a 13x9 baking dish arrange chicken in a single row down the center of the dish, place potatoes on one side and green beans on the other. Sprinkle evenly with seasoning and garlic, pour melted butter over the top. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour.
We enjoy this with fresh baked rolls or a crisp salad on the side.
