Cooking Steps
-
Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
-
Peel and dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary.
- Place potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil; cook until tender, 10-12 minutes.
- Reserve ¼ cup potato cooking liquid (½ cup for 4 servings), then drain. Return potatoes to pot; keep covered off heat until ready to use in Step 6.
- While potatoes cook, in a small bowl, combine scallion whites, bacon jam, and half the cheddar.
- Pat chicken* dry with paper towels. Holding your knife parallel to the cutting board, carefully cut a horizontal slit into the center of each cutlet, leaving ½ inch intact on the opposite side (be careful not to cut all the way through!). Open up each cutlet like a book.
- Season chicken all over with Fry Seasoning, salt, and pepper. Top one half of each cutlet with bacon jam filling. Fold other half over filling, pressing firmly to close.
-
Toss broccoli on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until tender and browned, 15-20 minutes.
-
While broccoli roasts, heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably ovenproof, pan over medium-high heat. Add stuffed chicken and cook until golden brown, 2-3 minutes per side.
-
Turn off heat; transfer pan to middle rack and bake until cooked through, 6-10 minutes. (If your pan isn’t ovenproof, transfer chicken to a second baking sheet.)
-
To pot with potatoes, add sour cream and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
-
Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
- Divide mashed potatoes, roasted broccoli, and stuffed chicken between plates. Top potatoes with remaining cheddar and scallion greens. Serve.

Review summary
Updated on Apr 2026- Flavor: The bacon jam filling is delicious when you can taste it, but many found it gets lost or needs more quantity.
- Ease of prep: Chicken cutlets are too thin to butterfly properly; try pounding flat and folding over filling instead of cutting a pocket.
- Suggestions: Use toothpicks or string to secure stuffed chicken, and consider adding more seasoning since fry seasoning can mask the filling.
- Portions: Many felt there wasn't enough bacon jam for proper stuffing and wanted nearly twice the amount provided.
