Potato Chip Baked Chicken with Baked Potato Fans and Green Beans

Ingredients
1 whole fryer chicken, cut up
½ bag of potato chips, crushed
½ teaspoon of paprika
½ stick of real butter (not margarine)
1 clove of garlic, crushed
4 russet potatoes
2 cups of fresh green beans (or one small bag of frozen green beans)
Aluminum foil
2 tablespoons of butter
1 tablespoon of dried parsley

Preparation
Place the potato chips in a large plastic zip top freezer bag.
Crush the chips by rolling over the bag with a rolling pin.
Add the paprika to the potato chips.
Melt the butter and the garlic in a pan.
Dip the chicken pieces in the butter to coat, then place them in the bag with the chips.
Toss two or three pieces of chicken in the bag at one time.
When the chicken pieces are coated, place them on a foil lined baking sheet.
Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.
Wash and peel the potatoes.
Bake them all at once in the microwave oven for 4 minutes.
Thinly slice the potates ¾ of the way through, leaving the bottom uncut.
Sprinkle with the butter and parsley.
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes next to the chicken.
Cook the green beans in the microwave oven.
The chicken is done when the juices are clear and the crust is golden brown.
The potatoes are done when they are crispy brown and tender.

These are the chicken breasts ready to go into the oven.
