So, you guys know how people always say “winner winner chicken dinner” and you’re like “stop saying that you sound ridiculous?”  No?  Ok.

Well, anyway, this IS a serious chicken dinner winner!  I haven’t met anyone that doesn’t like this, and that’s saying a lot considering I have a son that is super picky about any kind of sauce on his food.

I’ll go out on a limb and say that because this sauce is mostly just delicious garlic butter it’s really in his “safe zone.”

The only “secret” in this garlic butter sauce is our friend, ranch seasoning mix!  I can’t deal with bland chicken, the ranch really gives it that extra punch of flavor I’m looking for.

I know people have this fear of baking chicken in the oven because of it possibly coming out completely dry, inedible, and tasteless.

I promise that you don’t have to worry about that with this recipe.  The chicken comes out so juicy and tender, every single time!

The key is to remember that it’s best to keep this dish covered in foil the whole time it’s in the oven.

The red potatoes and green beans cook in the bottom of the pan with the delicious sauce and natural chicken flavors.  They’re seriously out of this world, you guys – that coming from a girl who isn’t the biggest green bean fan in the world!

Enjoy this flavor packed dinner!  This takes me typically 10 minutes or so of actual hands on time.  The rest of the time the chicken and veggies are doing their thing in the oven.

It really is also a darn healthy meal!  I do know there is some butter going on in here, BUT, it’s mostly for flavor.  You won’t be eating a large amount of the butter on your plate.

Unless of course, you want to slather your chicken and veggies in extra butter sauce.  In which case, I totally won’t judge!

    Thanks for sharing your recipe! I’ve been trying to get my sweetheart to eat fewer meals out (so expensive and unhealthy) and your recipe was one of the first things I made for him to show how easy and delicious homemade can be. He LOVED it. I used a homemade ranch mix and subbed asparagus for green beans, but otherwise followed the recipe to a tee. The chicken was flavorful and perfectly cooked and while I thought the asparagus was over-cooked, it was still very tasty. The extra asparagus that I simmered quickly in the juices generated by this recipe,though, were out of this world! In the future, (because I’m definitely making this again!), I think I’ll swap out the asparagus for a heartier veg (another root veg?) and use the cooking liquid to blanch my green beans or asparagus while the chicken rests. So yummy.

    I make this with asparagus instead of green beans and it turns out amazing!! It’s actually a favorite meal of my families now and it was requested tonight! Very delicious!

    1. I actually haven’t made this particular recipe in the crockpot, but I definitely think you could! To be safe, I’d probably add maybe 1/2 cup of liquid such as chicken broth to the crock pot, to make sure the chicken doesn’t dry out. Yes, asparagus is great with this as well!
