Italian Herb Baked Chicken

This recipe is a re-do/adaptation from one I've done before. This is also a non-recipe recipe. This one came about from when B and I were really poor and couldn't afford much. Most of our groceries came from my parents, or gift cards from friends. We also could only really heat our tiny apartment with our oven. So anything I could bake, I would.

Ingredients
4-6 chicken breasts
1 bottle of Italian dressing (we used the lightest, low calorie version)
3 medium-large Red Potatoes
1/2 red onion (or however you feel is 'enough')
1-2 sweet peppers

-Preheat oven to 350*-

1) place chicken breasts in bowl. season with pepper, seasoning salt, garlic powder, and a hearty helping of Italian seasoning. Toss until evenly coated. pour about 1/4 of the bottle of Italian dressing over the chicken. Put in fridge to sit for about an hour.

2) Cut up veggies. I keep the potatoes kind of thin. and the sweet peppers I cut in strips, and then the strips in half. I kept the red onion pretty large (strips).

3) place the veggies on the bottom of a 13x9" baking dish. Pour a little bit of the Italian dressing over the veggies, stir to coat.

4) place chicken breasts over veggies. If you have any left over veggies, you can place them around the chicken on top. I also sprinkle a little bit more italian seasoning over the top before I bake it.

5) bake chicken for 45-55 minutes

(This looks a little different because i had several small chicken cuts that i placed in the center)

I don't have a per serving nutrition for this.
