Simply Chicken and Hash Browns

What You Need:

1 (16 oz.) bag of frozen hash browns

2 lbs. chicken breasts

1/2 t of salt

1/4 t of pepper

1 (12 oz.) bag of frozen peas and carrots

1 (6 oz.) can of sliced mushrooms, drained well

How to Make It:

Allow the oven to preheat to 450 degrees.

Spray the lid and inside of a cast iron Dutch oven well with a non stick cooking spray.

Spread the frozen hash browns over the bottom of the pan.

Lay the chicken pieces of the potatoes and sprinkle evenly with the salt and pepper.

Add the bag of frozen peas and carrots and top with the sliced mushrooms.

Cover and bake 40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

Makes 4 servings

Want a bit more flavor?  Add a few halved garlic cloves underneath and around the chicken before adding the peas and carrots.  You may also make this dish a little Italian by rubbing the chicken pieces with Italian dressing instead of sprinkling with the salt and pepper.
