Put any number and type of chicken pieces in a 9x13 pan. Do not brown. Lightly salt and pepper. Peel and quarter 3 medium-large potatoes; fit in around and over chicken. Pour Italian dressing over all.
Cover and bake at 300 degrees for 3 hours. Take off foil for last 15 minutes. (Option: May add chunks of cut-up carrots with the potatoes.)
