Our chefs are always working on ways to get you dinner faster, fresher, and tastier all the time. This addition to our Fast & Fresh lineup delivers garlicky seared chicken cutlets with tender steamed potatoes all smothered in a rich, velvety cheddar cheese sauce. On the side is a generous salad of mixed greens dressed in tangy Greek vinaigrette and studded with crisp, nutty sunflower seeds and chewy dried cherries to round it all out. And just like that, you’ve got another 15-minute winner dinner on your hands.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Sizzle
1

• Pat chicken* dry; season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. • Drizzle oil in a hot large pan. Cook chicken until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan. TIP: If chicken is browning too quickly, reduce heat to medium and cover pan with lid.

Zap
2

• Meanwhile, wash and dry produce. • Dice potatoes into 1-inch pieces (peel if desired). • In a large microwave-safe bowl, season potatoes with salt and pepper. Add 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4) to bowl and cover with plastic wrap. • Microwave until potatoes are tender and steaming, 6-7 minutes. Remove plastic wrap and stir to combine. TIP: If your potatoes need more time to cook, cover bowl with plastic wrap again and microwave in 1-minute intervals. • Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice scallion greens (save whites for another use). TIP: While potatoes and chicken cook, feel free to toss the salad in Step 4!

Melt
3

• In pan used for chicken, off heat, whisk together cream sauce base, cheese, scallion greens, and a splash of water until thoroughly combined and smooth, 30-60 seconds. TIP: If the cheese isn’t melting, return pan to low heat.

Serve
4

• In a second large bowl, combine mixed greens, sunflower seeds, and dried cherries with as much vinaigrette as you like. • Drizzle chicken and potatoes with as much cheddar sauce as you like. Serve with salad on the side.

Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°

The sauce is amazing. This is an easy meal and fairly healthy, so I don't mind getting this one or the different variations of it, when it's available. However, I will say that I do not microwave the potatoes, but instead I chop them up and mix them with oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and thyme, and throw them in the air fryer. They turn out A LOT better that way. I would maybe add an alternative method to the potatoes.

Spectacularly easy and quick. Fast cooking and cleanup. The white cheddar sauce made the dinner special. Salad dressing was great and my husband even ate the baby dark greens. Yay!

Very tasty meal. It needed more than just a splash of water, however, to make it creamy rather than sticky. I think you need to specify a more precise measurement. A "splash" can mean a lot of different amounts. My sauce turned out fine, and in fact, my son took the leftover sauce and ate it with tortilla chips like queso. Very nice comfort meal.

Forgot to defrost chicken but make crusted baked cod and it went so well with this. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the cheese sauce with the potatoes. Made them in my air fryer. The sauce was so good that I am going to figure out how to make it regularly. YUM!! This recipe card was different than usual and I found it more difficult to follow.

The chicken, potatoes, and cheese sauce was so good and easy to make. Not our favorite dressing for the salad but still enjoyed it.

Delicious & the cheddar sauce was a tasty alternative to the mayo or sour cream sauces that are common in other meals.

Really good cheese sauce and the salad was a nice touch as a non-cooked green side dish.

I feel like the instructions said to microwave the potatoes for longer than was necessary. Mine got kind of tough and gross. The cheese sauce and the chicken were awesome though!
