Honestly, I love chicken potato bakes! It’s a great one dish meal which makes prep and clean-up so much easier.

This is seriously easy to make. I mean, it’s just chicken, potatoes, salad dressing.

Then you toss some spices on if you want to amp it up. A little coarse salt is all this needs in my opinion. In addition, you can add some fresh rosemary too. However, that’s completely optional.

Not only is this an easy recipe because it lets the flavour of the food stand out but it’s also tender and moist.

Seriously though, some recipes don’t need a lot of jazzing up. This is certainly one of them.

While I used split chicken breast for this recipe, you could use boneless, skinless chicken breast if you like. Also, chicken legs or thighs would work really well too.

In all honesty, you could even use a whole chicken if that works better for you.

Ingredients

Optional

  • 1/2 cup water add if needed (I added about 1/2 cup around the thirty minute mark)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Spray a 9 x 13 casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Lay the chicken breast down in the dish, I put them towards the corners.
  • Add the potatoes and spread evenly in the dish.
  • Pour the dressing over top of the chicken and potatoes.
  • Lay lemon slices over the chicken and potatoes randomly.
  • If you want rosemary you can add it now, or just use it for garnish later. Some folks like rosemary, some don't. So it's a completely optional ingredient.
  • Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven. Cook for 55 minutes total. (Check the chicken at 30 minutes to make sure there's enough liquid, and stir the potatoes around. If you need more liquid you can add some water at this point. I baste everything at this point to keep the chicken moist. Slide the casserole dish back in the oven and cook for another 15 minutes. Check again by pulling the dish out of the oven and baste again, and move the potatoes around a bit. If you need some water add some. Slide back in and cook for another 10 minutes.) The basting will really help. Don't be shy to add a little water if the dressing cooks off too quickly.
  • Remove from the oven. Discard rosemary.
  • Transfer everything to a big platter and serve family style, or just place the casserole dish on a heat resistant trivet on the table.
  • Serve with a big old lemon chicken loving smile!

Notes

You can add water or chicken broth as it cooks to keep it moist and prevent it from sticking to the pan. I added about 1/2 cup at the thirty minute mark. Just keep an eye on it and add as needed.

    Chicken & potatoes was my dad’s favorite Sunday supper! I never knew until this moment that my mom’s recipe most likely had Italian dressing in it. I never bothered to find out… it was too good good, and there were 8 of us hoarding it off of the platter, so I was a bit busy throwing chicken into my piehole to ask her 🙂

      Ha, I love using dressing in recipes. Works really amazing for the grill too. Great marinade for meat. I think every family has a chicken and potato recipe they love.

      Thanks Marjory. I love this recipe.

      I got so much cooking done. I had one of those creative bursts and just went nuts. My freezer is jam packed now. I wanted to do it so I didn’t always feel pressured to meet deadlines. Takes the edge off.

    It is funny because I don’t like Italian dressing as a dressing but I just love it as a marinate for chicken. I use to work at Cracker Barrel and that is what they use for their grilled chicken. Such great flavour and with the meyer lemons I imagine this is even better.

      Same here, I hate salad dressing on salads. Yet they make super amazing marinades. Super flavourful for stir fries too.

      I am addicted to meyer lemons. Something about them just makes me so happy.

      It totally is. She’s evil. I can prove it and bring her to blogher food and she can room with you. Bah ha ha.

      Thanks. I can only do the odd one but it’s fun to join in on occasion.

      I am so excited we’re doing both conferences. Going to be so much fun.

    Yeah, I’m a sucker for good one-dish meals too. And this one looks terrific! Love that top photo. It’s weird, but my free time never works out either. So I just play hooky when I’m supposed to be doing other stuff to make up for it!

      Thanks. I love the simplicity of one dish meals.

    This looks like a great meal, one that my whole family would love. You seem pretty organized to me 15 posts ahead, that sounds well, organized.

    You’re so organized in my mind at least. 30 recipes done! Wow…. I’m way behind but short on time… Hope to get that fixed by the end of this week but new design and all too which will go live this week (fingers crossed) so I have no posts scheduled. Which is kind of a strange thing…
    Anyway, that chicken looks amazing,

    Oh my gosh – those potatoes look absolutely drool-worthy!

    And I feel your pain. I look forward to getting time off for spring break, or Thanksgiving, or Christmas break (I’m a teacher)…and I have all these ideas about relaxing. It never seems to happen. I’m up before 6am…running errands, tending to things. Um, relaxation? What is that??? 😉

    love the addition of meyer lemons!
    my recipe notes can be found on the backs of receipts, post-its, and any other scrap you could think of. I actually own a “recipe notebook”, but I can never find it when I really need it!

      Thanks Amy. I try to throw them on everything. I’m out of control.

      I finally got my act together and have a notebook for recipe notes and photo editing. That way I always can track back if companies get in touch.

      Yeah, I’m so glad you guys liked it. Can Karl have pasta? There’s a Red Pepper and Italian Sausage pasta on the site that is super easy and delish. But not sure if his diet allows pasta or not.

      I’m doing up some more one pot wonders soon so keep your eyes peeled. I may do some to freeze for these guys while I’m in Miami. Otherwise no one will eat.

        Yes he can have pasta, I just use a whole grain or vegetable pasta for him. I will try to find your recipe…and I will watch for your one dish wonders.lol

    You just described my recipe organization process to a T. But I don’t have 30 recipes under my belt. WOW!! I do however have a pup that looks just like yours. Her name is Angel (HAHA) and when people ask me what kind of dog she is I say she is a West Highland White TERROR!!

        She did when she was younger and was a total brat and sooooo independent. No love unless SHE wanted to initiate it. Now she is 9 and blind so she is VERY lovey. The barking still happens but thank goodness we moved to a quite cul de sac so I am saved from that now 🙂

      Thanks so much Shaina. What’s hilarious is we were in such a rush to eat it I forgot to take proper plated photos of it.

    To me the rosemary is never optional. It’s my fave! This chicken and potato bake looks delicious and beautiful!

    I don’t think you need to call it disorganized. Your being artistic and sometimes creativity cannot be contained, filed or kept in one place. 🙂

      Ha, someone told me today never to use the word “should” because it equals guilt. Life changing moment. I will never say I should organize my notes again. Or anything else. I will or I won’t, no more should.

      Rosemary is the bomb. It’s lovely.

    Many years ago some friends of ours made grilled chicken that had been marinated with Italian dressing. There is something that just works with it. Add potatoes and lemon in the mix plus roasting sure has to be a winner.

    Demon Spawn is too cute for that aka! I used to very “Martha” also, but lately I’m lucky to make it partially “Rachel”. This looks so lovely, and love the ingredients -never thought to include them all together.

    This chicken and potato bake looks really yummy,would love to make at home and try. I must try this at home and put some Indianness in it by trying some other hot spices. Great recipe.

      Hi Nan. Sorry, just saw this. A friend of mine passed away so I took some time off work. I’m usually online more. I apologize.

      This recipe is cooked uncovered. Hope it turned out okay.
