On the side you’ll serve up silky mashed sweet potatoes and crispy-edged roasted broccoli for a sweet-and-savory sensation. The best part? Everything comes together in a quick 30 minutes!

Cooking Steps

Prep
1

• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Peel and dice sweet potatoes into ½-inch pieces.

Cook Sweet Potatoes
2

• Place sweet potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. • Drain and return sweet potatoes to pot. Keep covered off heat until ready to mash.

Make Crust & Season Chicken
3

• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine panko, cheddar, half the Fry Seasoning, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. • Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with remaining Fry Seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Roast Chicken & Beans
4

• Place chicken on one side of a baking sheet; brush tops with half the sour cream (you’ll use the rest in the next step). Mound coated sides with panko mixture, pressing to adhere (no need to coat the undersides). • Toss green beans on empty side of sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until chicken is cooked through and green beans are browned and tender, 18-22 minutes.

Mash Sweet Potatoes
5

• Meanwhile, mash sweet potatoes with 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings), remaining sour cream, and a big pinch of salt. Keep covered until ready to serve. TIP: If you like your sweet potatoes extra-sweet, add a pinch of brown sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup while mashing.

Serve
6

• Divide sweet potatoes, green beans, and chicken between plates. Serve.

Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Love this meal / great flavor. Cooks up easily. We did the chicken in the air fryer and then the beans and sweet potatoes on the stove. I would get this meal again for sure.

Portion size was small. I'd say the sweet potato's made enough for one serving. Tasted great though.

The chicken was labeled wrong so I had chopped chicken in a bag that said chicken breast. It still worked and tasted fine.

I really liked the chicken but the mashed sweet potatoes tasted off or funky due to the addition of the sour cream. I am the only one out of the 3 of us that will eat the green beans.. but I guess they are better than carrots.

The sweet potatoes that were sent were way too stringy and fibrous for mashed potatoes (actually threw half of them away) and the cheddar that was sent was completely flavorless
