Chicken, red potatoes, and green beans

I have a few recipes that I make sure to have the ingredients on hand so that I can make them quick.  This is one that I love to make.  I have canned green beans on hand at all times and chicken that is frozen, so all I must make sure to have is potatoes.  My preference is red potatoes but you could use any potatoes you want.  So now, on to the ingredients:

3 chicken breast (frozen or thawed is fine)
5 fist size red potatoes cut up
2 cans of green beans
1 stick of butter
1 package of Italian seasoning

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and put the chicken, then potatoes, then green beans in a 9x13 pan.  Slice the butter up and put the pats on too of the green beans.  Then sprinkle the Italian seasoning over it al.  Cover it with aluminum foil and cook for 375 degrees for 1 hour or until the potatoes are soft and the chicken is cooked. 

I always stress thinking I haven't let it cook long enough for the chicken.  Even when it is thick pieces that are frozen, one hour to a hour and 10 minutes is okay.  There is enough liquid to make sure that that everything is moist.  I also store everything together with the juice to have for the next day.  This is a great meal that anyone can fix.  Even the leftovers are amazing and warm up good. 

What is a go to recipe that you love?  leave the link to your recipe so I can build up my stash too!

Beef stew




2.25 lbs 90/10 ground beef
2 cans corn
2 cans diced potatoes
2 cans no salt added green beans
1 can carrots
2 cans petite diced tomatoes
2 large cans tomato sauce
Salt
Pepper
Season salt
Garlic powder

Cook beef in pan. Add all of the rest of the canned items and seasonings. Do not drain the juice. You want the juice the combine with the tomato sauce. Cook on medium-high heat until boiling, then turn down to low heat. Serve with crackers. Tastes so much better the next day.
