I like this meal especially on nights when the “chief cook and bottle washer”, me, is busy and we have to rely on the second in command to pull off a filling, nutritious meal.  If you keep these three items in the freezer, your family won’t go hungry, or worse, have to order expensive pizza delivery.   Even the most challenged cook can get this dinner ready for the oven in just 5 minutes, max!

1 (16 oz.) pkg. frozen hash browns
1/2 t salt
1/4 t of pepper
1 1/2 lbs. frozen chicken breasts
1/2 C teriyaki sauce (if your family doesn’t like teriyaki, use soy sauce)
1 (16 oz.) bag of frozen mixed vegetables (stir fry veggies is great with teriyaki, but any combination will do)

Adjust the oven to 450 degrees allowing it to preheat.
Spray a cast iron Dutch oven well with a non stick cooking spray.
Place the frozen hash browns into the pot and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Lay the frozen chicken breasts over the top of the potatoes.
Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken.
Dump in the bag of frozen vegetables.
Cover and bake 45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

Makes 4 servings
