Instructions

Prep and Cook Potatoes
1

Wash and dry all produce. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly oil a baking sheet (or spray with nonstick cooking spray). Dice potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Place in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until tender, 15-20 minutes.

Prep and Coat Chicken
2

Meanwhile, zest 2 TBSP zest from lemons; quarter lemons. Mince or grate 4 cloves garlic. Finely chop half the basil. Combine zest, half the garlic, chopped basil, panko, salt, pepper, and a large drizzle of olive oil in a medium bowl. Pat chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt and 1 TBSP Tuscan Heat Spice. Evenly spread sour cream on top side of chicken. Press panko mixture on top.

Bake Chicken and Broccoli
3

Transfer chicken to one side of prepared baking sheet and bake until lightly browned, 5-8 minutes. Remove from oven and toss broccoli, remaining garlic, a large drizzle of olive oil, and salt on opposite side of sheet. Return to oven until broccoli is tender and chicken is browned and cooked through, 10-15 minutes more.

Cook Bacon
4

Meanwhile, dice bacon into ½-inch pieces. Place in a medium pan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 15 minutes. (TIP: If bacon browns too quickly, lower heat.) Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Toss broccoli with a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Mash Potatoes
5

Once potatoes are tender, reserve 1 cup potato cooking water, then drain and return potatoes to pot. Add 4 TBSP butter, cheese, and ½ cup cooking water. Mash with a potato masher or fork, adding a splash more cooking water if needed, until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve
6

Divide broccoli, chicken, and mashed potatoes between plates. Tear remaining basil over chicken. Sprinkle potatoes with bacon. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
