In honor of the summer games and inspired by a gold-medal winning recipe from HF Spain, these juicy seared chicken cutlets are drizzled with a creamy, buttery mustard-herb sauce that’s infused with dried thyme and loaded with savory sautéed mushrooms, adding tangy richness to every bite. On the side are tender roasted carrots and zucchini seasoned with garlic and thyme.

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

Cooking Steps

Start 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 ½-inch-thick wedges. Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; slice crosswise on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick half-moons.

Roast Veggies
2
  • Toss potato wedges and zucchini on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, half the garlic powder, half the thyme, salt, and pepper (for 4 servings, spread potatoes out across entire sheet; use a second sheet for zucchini). (You’ll use the remaining garlic powder and thyme in Step 5.)

  • Roast on top rack, tossing halfway through, until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes. (For 4, roast on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through.)

Cook Chicken
3
  • While veggies roast, pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 6-8 minutes per side. TIP: Lower heat and cover pan if chicken begins to brown too quickly.

  • Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board. Wipe out pan.

Finish Prep
4
  • Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!).

  • In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, sour cream, stock concentrate, ¼ cup water, and 1 tsp vinegar (⅓ cup water and 2 tsp vinegar for 4 servings). (Be sure to measure the vinegar; we sent more.) Set aside.

Make Sauce
5
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for chicken over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and remaining thyme; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2-4 minutes. Add remaining garlic powder and stir to coat.

  • Add mustard mixture and 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Cook, stirring constantly, until butter melts and sauce is thoroughly combined.

  • Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes more. TIP: If sauce is too thick, add a splash or two of water and bring to a boil; stir until smooth and slightly thickened.

  • Turn off heat and season with salt and pepper.

Finish & Serve
6
  • Thinly slice chicken crosswise.

  • Divide chicken and veggies between plates. Spoon mushroom sauce over chicken and serve.

Review summary

  • Flavor: Many loved the tangy, creamy mushroom sauce; some found the Dijon or thyme overpowering 🍄
  • Ease of prep: Quick and simple to make, though a few felt prep time was longer than stated
  • Suggestions: Consider adding the zucchini later; potatoes often need more cook time than specified
  • Portions: Several wanted more zucchini; some felt potato portions were too large
  • Sauce: Delicious but could be thicker; try reducing vinegar for less tang

This was really really tasty! Definitely would order again, the mushroom sauce was really nice with the chicken, and I liked having more than just potato wedges as a side.

The sauce for the chicken was very yummy and plentiful. I like the combo of roasted zucchini and potatoes.

Lots to cut up, but tasty with the mushrooms and zucchini. Too many potatoes.

I don't think there was a problem with the dish. It was just too thyme-forward for me. The mushroom sauce was very tasty. If I selected this dish again, I would halve the thyme.

Would have liked a second veggie instead of potatoes. But loved the chicken sauce - delicious and loved that it had mushrooms.

Nice! Prefer a more pronounced dijon next time. Another teaspoon or two would have been nice

Nice flavor the zucchini cooks much faster than potatoes so might need to adjust recipe there next time

The steps say to throw the zucchini and potatoes in the oven at the same time. That would greatly overcook the zucchini by the time the potatoes are done. We threw the potatoes in first, and threw the zucchini in during the last 12 minutes or so and that worked fine.

This one didn't sound amazing for some reason- I was totally wrong. The sauce was amazing. Will absolutely order this again with extra zucchini. Yum
