All-in-One Chicken Supper

Teresa Ambra

All-in-One Chicken Supper is the real deal. It’s a wonderful one-dish meal that’s so simple even your kids can put this recipe together. This main dish entree includes chicken (I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts), potatoes, carrots, green beans and onions. It’s delicately seasoned with spices and herbs too. It’s rather simple and tasty but not bland or dull in taste because I amped up the flavor by adding several additional seasonings along with bay leaves and chicken broth that were in the original recipe. All in all, it is one fantastic chicken entree.

In the early 2000s, I worked in the Financial Aid office at Dallas Baptist University trying to get my kids through college. Bettie Raye also worked with me in that department. We had a lot of fun in what could sometimes be very taxing and demanding jobs. We partied a lot–always bringing in food for special occasions, birthdays, holidays–you name it, we celebrated it! Sometimes we brought in food just because we felt like it.

We served hot, homemade breakfasts every Friday morning. That meant everything from waffles and pancakes, to bacon, sausage, homemade muffins and pastries–well you get the idea….we always had food in our department. On top of that, lenders and other vendors were constantly bringing our department food. Sometimes it was donuts but most of the time it was really nice lunches catered by area restaurants. We were spoiled in that regard.

Bettie and I were always talking  about food and recipes in our slow times. She still makes the best Chocolate Covered Strawberries in creation in my opinion! Bettie and I shared a lot of recipes, but she also had a lot of her recipes typed up and sent them to me electronically so I could have them.

I printed out hundreds of recipes and taped them into my 2 large 3-ring binder (5-inch deep) cookbooks so I could give them a try at my convenience. Nothing I have ever made from Bettie has turned out yucky. She could flat out cook and to this day I don’t think I’ve ever had a better bread pudding (which I don’t really care for that much), than her New Orleans praline-style bread pudding. Wow, was that ever good.

I was looking through my cookbooks a couple of weeks ago trying to figure out something to make for supper that was fairly easy and where I already had all the ingredients on hand. So I stumbled across Bettie’s All-in-One Chicken Dinner recipe. I gave it a whirl. It’s very easy, very simple, and very tasty especially after adding several herbs and seasonings.

We really enjoyed this recipe. The nice thing about it is you can always adjust the amounts of the potatoes, carrots and green beans that you need for your family. Or if you have a lot of garden produce ready to harvest then add as much of everything as you want to get rid of! I think leftovers would make a great chicken stew.

If you need a quick and easy recipe for dinner, this one can probably be ready in about 15-20 minutes depending on how long it takes you to peel the potatoes and carrots and cut off the ends of the green beans. I’m fairly fast after doing it for so many years, but for those who don’t do a lot of cooking it may take 30 minutes to get this dish oven-ready. If you have an herb garden then feel free to add fresh herbs in addition to the ones I’ve used. Even lemon grass might be good.

This casserole is a great go-to recipe when you want a lovely main dish meal and you don’t have time to spend a lot of time in preparation ahead of time. But if it’s easier for you, you can peel and cut the potatoes and carrots earlier in the day and place them in bowls with salted water and ice cubes to prevent discoloration. Then just add each veggie to the casserole when you’re ready to make it up.

Or you can use baby petite carrots and red potatoes to eliminate cutting of those veggies entirely. I like to cut the tips off the green beans, but that could be eliminated too if you don’t mind. Either way is E-A-S-Y! All-in-One Chicken Supper is amazing and the perfect dish for supper. I can do this and so can you! 🙂

When I originally made this recipe in February 2014, I wasn’t really happy with how the pictures turned out even though I had used my Canon camera. I also thought the recipe was blander than I would have liked. So when I remade this recipe in March 2016 (right after we moved into our new home), I decided to fiddle with the flavors from Bettie’s original recipe.

I added a lot of herbs–fresh and dried which absolutely made this dish mouthwatering. I served it to company who enjoy food like us, but also appreciate eating healthy. It was an unqualified success! Considering we’d been in our new house less than a week at that point, I was really happy it turned out well. 🙂

While my pictures below show me pouring the chicken broth over top of all the ingredients in the pan, I would recommend actually pouring the chicken broth into the pan before putting everything else into the dish. That way you won’t have to re-add more seasonings because the broth has washed them off of the meat and veggies! I would also baste the veggies with the broth before serving and once during baking time. Enjoy.

You can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts, chicken thighs, chicken tenderloins, bone-in chicken cut up, or even turkey tenderloins in this recipe. All will work fine. But you may have to adjust your cooking time accordingly.

  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp. dried marjoram or more as desired
  • 1 tsp. crushed dried rosemary leaves or more as desired
  • 1-2 tbsp. fresh thyme leaves as desired
  • 20 baby sage leaves or as desired
  • 16 oz. can chicken broth

Instructions
 

  • Spray a 10”x15” baking dish or roaster with cooking spray.
  • Place chicken pieces in dish.
  • Pour chicken broth over top of the chicken.
  • Place potatoes, carrots, onions, and green beans around sides of meat.
  • Sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, marjoram, rosemary, thyme and sage leaves generously over meat and veggies.

Notes

NOTE: The original recipe called for the chicken broth to be poured over the meat and vegetables after the seasonings were sprinkled on top. Unfortunately, then all the seasonings wash to the bottom of the pan and the veggies aren't seasoned as well. I've changed the recipe up so that the broth is put in at the beginning so the meat and veggies will have the seasonings adhere while cooking.
