Brooke’s Magically Perfect Chicken Every. Single. Time. The “Dump It In the Pan and Walk Away” Chicken & Potatoes

1. Throw all the chicken into a 9x13 pan. If you’ve got too much (I did), grab a backup pan. Don’t grease anything — this chicken comes with its own oil slick.
2. Sprinkle the onion soup mix all over.
3. Sprinkle the Italian dressing packet on like you meant to do that.
4. Tuck the fingerling potatoes in between the chicken pieces.
5. Squeeze garlic paste around the edges like you’re caulking a bathtub.
6. Grate the stick of butter over the top like a dairy snowstorm.
7. Cover and bake at 300°F for 45 minutes.
8. Uncover and bake at 425°F for another 45 minutes until the chicken is crispy, melty, perfect, and you feel smug.
