Low FODMAP One Pan Chicken Dinner Bake can’t get any easier or more tasty! A little butter and Italian herbs make chicken, potatoes, and vegetables tender and delicious.
I don’t know about you, but I just don’t have much time to cook during the busy holiday season. I like to find recipes that are are as easy as they are healthy and tasty. Pinterest is a great place to find such recipes. I’ve seen so many pins of this particular recipe (see an example here). Baking a complete meal in one pan? I had to try it. I also had to put my own low-FODMAP spin on it, of course, and was pleasantly surprised with the results.
The Changes
First off, I used chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. Over the years, I’ve started using chicken thighs more because they are so much more moist and flavorful than chicken breasts, and they really aren’t that much more fattening, especially without the skin. I figured thighs would be a good choice for this dish and I was right. That little bit of extra fat really helps.
I used Yukon gold potatoes, but any type of potatoes would work – red, russet, etc. Any kind of veggies would work too. You can even use frozen! Here I used green beans and carrots, but you could also throw in any other low-FODMAP veggie (paying attention to serving sizes, of course) – broccoli, bell peppers, etc.
Low-FODMAP and Healthier!
Most versions of this recipe call for a whole stick of butter and a packet of Italian dressing mix. Holy salt and fat! I took care of this by cutting the butter in half and using my own herbs and seasonings. Just melt the butter, stir in the seasonings and pour it all over. The result is a perfectly seasoned and flavorful meal. I hope you like this easy Low FODMAP One Pan Chicken Dinner Bake!

I made this for my BF and his family, tonight. No alternations. I showed his dad the photo and he turned away saying that he hated veggies. He almost LICKED the plate clean. Bravo. (Of course, they all had rolls with it bc the butter sauce was delish).
That's awesome! So happy you enjoyed it!
Nice recipe. Kathy Ramos
How much do you think it would alter the baking time if I used fresh green beans?
I don't think it would make much difference. Go ahead and try fresh green beans!
I love that he "almost" liked the plate clean. Maybe my children will almost do the the same!
This can also be made with chicken breasts…our preference. I have also used Mrs. Dash products for seasoning. I generally use the whole stick of butter figuring it's over the whole dish (several servings). I may try it with less butter, but I don't want it to be dry.
If using sweet potatoes or butternut squash, and fresh veggies, would you adjust baking time?
A KEEPER! I added a tsp of GARLIC powder to the butter sauce. When done the chicken looked anemic so next time I will sprinkle some paprika over the thighs. I used frozen carrots and green beans for the vegetables and a 1 pound bag of scrubbed, trimmed, and cubed finger potatoes. The 1.5 lbs of boneless thighs totaled 6 and two of us ate 2 a piece. Would not feed 4 people using the 13×9" glass casserole dish.
How can I post a photo of my finished dinner?
Butter is not low fod map
Butter has no carbohydrates in it and is therefore Low Fodmap. No fodmaps were detected. (Look it up in the Monash app).
According to the Monash App, butter is low-FODMAP in serving sizes of 1 tablespoon, which is what this recipe follows.

We made this and we both LOVED it!! The only alteration we made was cookiing in in our crockpot.
Dairy is not a problem for my MAPPIE. fodmap is not written in stone, as we are slowly finding out. But it is definitely a long and winding road.
Good to know that this works in the crock pot too. Thanks for the comment, Cindy!
How long did you leave it in the crockpot? Was it on High or Low? Thanks!
if you are on FODMAP – no to butternut squash 🙂
If I brown the chicken first will I have to adjust the cooking time?
I would keep the baking time the same to ensure that the potatoes and vegetables are done.
What us did map mean. ? Sorry not educated in text lingo.
What is FOD Map sorry typo
Kathryn, A Low FODMAP Diet is very strict elimination diet for people who suffer with IBS. It is recommended by doctors and nutritionists to help heal the gut, and learn about which foods an individual with IBS is sensitive to(those that cause IBS symptoms). Common foods to avoid are lactose, gluten, onion, and garlic. However, there are MANY MANY more foods listed that most need to omit or eat in very small quantities.
Does the seasoning your mention have onion or garlic? Our FODMAP does not allow those.
No, it contains only herbs.
Had this for my tea tonight. There is only me so I halved the recipe and will be having it for tea tomorrow night. Really enjoyed it Thank you.
I don’t have an accessible safe source for cut up chicken for my family right now due to b food allergies, but I can get a whole chicken. So you think there’s a way to modify the choking method for a halved chicken, bone in?
Anyone know a good dairy-free butter substitute for this? Tx!
Favorite dish now
I like Earth Balance Vegan Buttery Spread.
Greens beans, and carrots are a know potential IBS trigger. Substitute instead for both with low FODMAP veggies.
According to the Monash app, carrots and green beans are both low-fodmap. You just have to be mindful of serving sizes!
