What You’ll Need For Italian Chicken

Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are ideal for this recipe. You can also substitute with chicken thighs or drumsticks.

Potatoes: I use baby potatoes cut in half. You can also use larger potatoes cut into 1-inch chunks. There is no need to peel the tomatoes.

Vegetables: Zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and red peppers add color and flavor. Feel free to add other veggies like sliced mushrooms or broccoli.

Marinade: A mix of Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, and Italian dressing mix creates a flavorful marinade.

Seasonings: Olive oil, Parmesan, salt, and pepper give the dish so much flavor!

Variations

Replace the chicken with Italian sausage, shrimp, or pork tenderloin.
Add different herbs and seasonings like fresh parsley, oregano, basil, or thyme.
