Tuscan Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner

Sheet pan dinners are wonderful. Its the protein and sides all taken care of in one dish and its just a beautiful thing when you want to be a little lazier.
There's so many sheet pan chicken dinners, that its nice to see one that mixes it up a little bit and have a good marinate.

Ingredients
1 cup of olive oil
1/3 cup of balsamic vinegar
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp of dried parsley flakes
1 tsp of dried basil
1 tsp of kosher salt
1 tsp of black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
5 or 6 roma tomatoes
1 lb of green beans
2 tbs of fresh parsley

Directions
In a bowl or pitcher, mix oil, vinegar and garlic.
Add dried parsley, basil, salt and pepper.
Put chicken in a large plastic zipper bag and pour half the mixture over it.
Cut tomatoes in half and trim green beans.
Put them in a large plastic bag and pour rest of mixture over them.
Let them marinate for no more than 2 hours.
Preheat the over to 425.
Pour bags onto sheet pan, and roast for 25 minutes.
Sprinkle fresh parsley the mixture and serve.

Changes I Made!
The parsley at the end is not needed.
Also I quartered the tomatoes to make it easier for eating.
The cookbook also says you don't need to let the chicken and veggies marinate, and I call b-s on that. Let those flavors get together.

Baked Potato Soup

Baked potato soup is one of the first soups I learned how to make, and this recipe is my go to recipe, especially in the middle of winter, because most of the ingredients I have on hand at all times. Ingredients 2 medium potatoes, bakes and cooled 1 can of chicken broth 2 tbs of sour cream 1/8 tsp of pepper 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese Directions Peel potatoes and cut into 1/2 inch cubes. Place 1/2 of the potato in a blender and with chicken broth. Pour mix into sauce pan and add remaining potato, sour cream and pepper. Cook over low heat until heated through. Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, and whatever else you want. Changes I made! I do not mess with this recipe except what I add on top when I eat. This recipe is from Taste of Home.
