Cooking Steps

Start Prep & Roast Carrots
1

• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into 1⁄2-inch-thick pieces. • Toss carrots on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.

Finish Prep & Boil Potatoes
2

• While carrots roast, dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. • Place potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 10-12 minutes. Reserve ½ cup potato cooking liquid, then drain. • Return potatoes to pot and keep covered off heat until ready to mash in Step 6.

Cook Chicken
3

• Pat chicken dry with paper towels; place between two large pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with a mallet or rolling pin until 1⁄2 inch thick. Season all over with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board and tent with foil to keep warm. Wipe out pan and let cool slightly. TIP: If you added any other items to your meal (apps, sides, and/or dessert), you can get started on them now!

Cook Cherry Sauce & Peas
4

• Meanwhile, in a small microwave-safe bowl, whisk together jam, half the stock concentrates, 1 TBSP water, and 1 TBSP butter(2 TBSP water and 2 TBSP butter for 4 servings). Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until butter has melted, 1-2 minutes. Carefully remove plastic wrap and whisk in one packet of sour cream (two packets for 4). • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine peas with 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4), salt, and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until peas are warmed through and butter has melted, 2-3 minutes. Carefully remove plastic wrap and stir to combine.

Make Gravy
5

• Heat pan used for chicken over medium-high heat. Add 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) and scallion whites. Cook, stirring, until scallions are lightly browned, 1-2 minutes. • Whisk in flour and cook, whisking, until lightly browned, 1 minute more. • Whisk in 3⁄4 cup water (1 1⁄4 cups water for 4), Vidalia onion paste, and remaining stock concentrate. Cook, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.

Mash Potatoes
6

• Add remaining sour cream and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) to pot with drained potatoes. • Mash until smooth and creamy, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Finish & Serve
7

• Slice chicken crosswise. • Serve chicken, mashed potatoes, roasted carrots, peas, cherry sauce, gravy, scallion greens, and Mexican cheese blend family style and let everyone build their own plate. (Don’t forget to serve with any extra items you may have ordered to build out your meal!)
