Eat, Read, and Be Mommy

One of our neighbors asked my daughter to water her garden while she and her husband went camping for the weekend, and she told her she was welcome to pick their beans while they were gone.  And WOW.  I have never seen such a bumper crop of green beans–she probably came home with 5 pounds of them in 3 days.  I went looking for interesting ways to use them, because why not?, and decided on this recipe for Seasoned Chicken, Potatoes, and Green Beans.  (Note:  I also have red potatoes that need using.)

I was a bit nervous about the cook time, based on some of the comments, but I went with about what it said because I was starting with partially frozen chicken; both the chicken and the potatoes came out quite nicely.  (They weren’t exactly the firmest potatoes to start with.)  The green beans were more done than we usually have, but they were seasoned and tasty and cooking them all together made for a one-pot meal, so I’m not complaining.  I can’t guarantee that completely thawed chicken and perfectly firm potatoes would cook up quite as evenly, but I’d probably just cut the potatoes a bit smaller and hope for the best.  Let me know how it comes out for you!
