Baked Chicken and Potatoes

Submitted by Busy Lindsay

"This recipe started with just chicken, potatoes and salad dressing and has evolved over the years. If you are really short on time or short on ingredients you can still use just the salad dressing with the chicken and potatoes and it will taste good. The other ingredients add a little something extra. It is really good!"
