Baked Chicken Breast w/ Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans

Dinner Tonight: Baked Chicken Breast w/ Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans

One of our warmest Spring Days of the year so far, Sunny and 83 degrees! If you have allergies though it was rough day out there. A very high tree pollen count out there today. Caught up on laundry and had the cart out most of the day after that, beautiful out! For dinner tonight; Baked Chicken Breast w/ Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans.

As usual I used the PERDUE® OVEN READY Whole Seasoned Roaster Bone-In Breast. As it says “Oven Ready’, already seasoned, and little clean-up needed plus their always delicious. To prepare it just preheat the oven to 400ºF. Cut open outer bag and remove Oven Ready Roaster Bone-In Breast, sealed in a cooking bag. Place in a shallow roasting pan, seasoned side up. Cut one small 1″ slit in cooking bag over the breast to vent during cooking. If cooking from Fresh: Place pan with breast (still in cooking bag) on lower shelf of oven and roast for approximately 80-90 minutes, until internal temperature of the breast reaches 180ºF. Comes out piping hot, well seasoned, and delicious! Then with leftovers, I'll  make some BBQ Chicken Whole Grain Pita Bread Pizzas for later in the week.








I also prepared some Bob Evans Mashed Potatoes, microwave a total of 6 minutes and their done and just as good as anyone’s homemade Mashed Potatoes. Then I also heated up a small can of Del Monte Cut Green Beans and had a slice of Klosterman Wheat Bread. To drink an ice-cold Diet Dr. Pepper that I had let set in the freezer for about 15 minutes. Then for dessert/snack some sliced Turkey Spam on top of Ritz Whole Grain Crackers.
