Cooking Steps
• Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Cut sweet potato into ½-inch-thick wedges. Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. • In a small bowl, combine panko, 1 tsp Italian Seasoning, a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper (2 tsp Italian Seasoning and a large drizzle of oil for 4 servings). (Save remaining Italian Seasoning for another use.)
• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. Place on one side of a lightly oiled baking sheet. • Spread a thin layer of sour cream onto tops of chicken. Mound with panko mixture, pressing to adhere (no need to coat the undersides).
• Toss sweet potato on opposite side of sheet from chicken with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until sweet potato is tender and chicken is cooked through, 15-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss broccoli on a second baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. • Roast on middle rack until broccoli is lightly browned and tender, 15-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, finely dice tomato. Mince chives. • In a medium bowl, combine tomato, chives, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. • Halve and toast one brioche bun (both buns for 4 servings).
• Once chicken and sweet potato are done roasting, remove sheet from oven. Set oven to broil. Carefully spread half the marinara over chicken. Sprinkle mozzarella on top. • Broil until cheese is melted and begins to brown, 30-90 seconds. TIP: The broiler is a powerful tool! Keep an eye on the chicken and sweet potato.
• Keep It Simple: Spread mayonnaise over cut sides of toasted bun, then fill with half the chicken. Serve with sweet potato wedges on the side and remaining marinara for dipping. • Mix It Up: Place remaining chicken on a plate and top with bruschetta. Drizzle with as much balsamic glaze as you like. Serve with roasted broccoli on the side.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Reviews from our home cooks
This was an amazing sandwich and so fast and easy to cook! It was so good that I didn't even try it the "second" way, but had two of the same!
I like the idea of multiple options in single dish. Easy to make, Good portions and taste.
Very delicious, but I was disappointed that we didn't receive the balsamic vinaigrette to have a true bruschetta topping
The balsamic glaze makes it an explosion of flavors in your mouth.
Cook time wasn't good because chicken got done and sweet potatoes didn't.
Need two sweet potatoes; increase salsa ingredients-also bland. LOTS of broccoli-don't need that much.
I did like the options. But the chicken portion was very small.
Good to have a choice. My husband does not like marinara and I try to avoid bread!
Definitely good it was nice to have a variety of dinner combined in one meal
Great for multiple people and big families with picky appetites!
