Cooking Steps

Prep
1

• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Cut potatoes into 1⁄2-inch-thick wedges. Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. • Toss potatoes on one side of a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, half the Fry Seasoning, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack for 10 minutes (you’ll add more to the sheet then).

Toast Panko
2

• While potatoes roast, heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add panko and cook, stirring, until golden brown, 3-5 minutes. • Turn off heat; transfer to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Wipe out pan. TIP: If you added any other items to your meal (apps, sides, and/or dessert), you can get started on them now!

Roast Broccoli
3

• Once potatoes have roasted 10 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Carefully toss broccoli on opposite side of sheet with a drizzle of oil, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Return to top rack and roast, until veggies are browned and tender, 15-20 minutes more. (For 4 servings, transfer baking sheet with potatoes to middle rack; toss broccoli as instructed on a separate baking sheet and roast on top rack.)

Cook Chicken
4

• Meanwhile, pat chicken* dry with paper towels. Season all over with remaining Fry Seasoning, salt, and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for panko over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. • Transfer chicken to a cutting board to rest.

Make Cheese Sauce
5

• Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small pot over medium heat. Whisk in cream cheese until melted, 1-2 minutes. Slowly whisk in 1⁄4 cup water (1⁄2 cup for 4) until no lumps remain. Sprinkle in cheddar and white cheddar. Cook, whisking, until melted and smooth, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a small serving bowl. TIP: If sauce seems too thick, add more water a splash at a time until sauce reaches desired consistency.

Finish & Serve
6

• Slice chicken crosswise. • Serve chicken, potatoes, broccoli, toasted panko, cheese sauce, and dressing family style so everyone can build their own plate.

Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Review summary

Updated on Dec 2025
  • Flavor: Many loved the cheese sauce, finding it delicious on everything. Some found the seasoning on the broccoli mismatched with other flavors.
  • Ease of prep: Several found it simple to prepare, though some felt the timing was awkward with cheese sauce finishing last.
  • Suggestions: Consider coating chicken with panko before frying for extra crunch. Try adding stone ground mustard to the cheese sauce for depth.
  • Portions: Some felt there wasn't enough chicken for four people, while others had too much cheese sauce relative to other ingredients.
  • Texture: A few found the cheese sauce became too thick or grainy; consider adding more liquid if needed 🧀.

To make clean up easy, I used my toaster oven, lined tray with parchment paper and place the potatoes around the sides leaving the middle open, placed the chicken in the middle and sprinkled everything with the fry seasoning and covered the tops of the chicken with the panko and drizzle olive oil over everything and baked at 425 for 30 min. I steamed the broccoli in the microwave made cheese sauce as directed. Delicious meal

I really enjoyed this but I used my air fryer for the potatoes and chicken. The chicken was so tender and juicy. The potatoes were a little crispy like I wanted but my daughter enjoyed cutting the potatoes in every shape imaginable. As for the broccoli after my daughter cut it I did my usual taking a Tupperware bowl with lid I put tiny bit of water because it is raw. Add few tablespoons of butter and Himalayan salt over top. Shaking it between the butter melting process with the lid on the whole time allowing it to cook for 6 minutes. If you like it soft 4 minutes if you like it still crunchy and bright.

My family loved this meal with the exception of one item. They didn't like the cheese. I think it was the taste for them and also the texture. They really liked everything else.

Very tasty but the ranch and breadcrumbs are almost not even needed. Too many toppings?
