Crispy Kickin' Cayenne Chicken Cutlets
with Frank’s RedHot® Original Seasoning Blend, Mashed Potatoes & Broccoli
- Milk
- Wheat
Are you the type of person who only goes to sporting events because of the possibility that Buffalo wings may be present? We’re with you, and that’s why our chefs took the beloved dish from messy app to epic weeknight dinner. First, chicken is coated in a cheesy, Frank’s Red Hot spiced panko mixture. It’s roasted to juicy, crunchy perfection, then drizzled with creamy buffalo-style sauce. Oh, and did we mention there’s buttery roasted broccoli and sour cream and scallion mashed potatoes on the side?! Yeah, it’s safe to say this dish is a slam dunk/ home run/ touchdown!

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces if necessary. • In a small bowl, combine half the sour cream (you’ll use the rest later), 1⁄2 tsp Frank’s RedHot® Original Seasoning Blend (1 tsp for 4), and a big pinch of salt. (Be sure to measure the Frank’s Seasoning—you’ll use the rest in the next step.) Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until Buffalo sauce reaches a drizzling consistency.
• Place 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a medium microwave- safe bowl; microwave until melted, 30-45 seconds. • Stir in panko, Monterey Jack, remaining Frank’s RedHot® Original Seasoning Blend, and a big pinch of salt and pepper.
• Dice potatoes into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Place in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil; cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. • Reserve 1⁄2 cup potato cooking liquid, then drain. • Heat a drizzle of oil in empty pot over low heat. Add scallion whites and cook until softened, 1 minute. Return potatoes to pot; mash with remaining sour cream and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until smooth and creamy, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. Season with salt and pepper. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While potatoes cook, pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. Place on one side of a lightly oiled baking sheet. (For 4 servings, spread chicken out across entire sheet.) • Mound tops of chicken with panko mixture, pressing firmly to adhere (no need to coat the undersides).
• Toss broccoli on opposite side of sheet from chicken with a large drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. (For 4 servings, toss broccoli on a second sheet; roast chicken on top rack and broccoli on middle rack.) • Roast on top rack until chicken is golden brown and cooked through and broccoli is slightly crispy, 15-18 minutes. TIP: If chicken is done before broccoli, remove from sheet and continue roasting broccoli.
• Carefully transfer roasted broccoli to a large bowl; add 1 TBSP butter and toss until melted. • Divide broccoli, mashed potatoes, and chicken between plates. Drizzle chicken with creamy Buffalo sauce and honey (or serve on the side for dipping). Garnish mashed potatoes and chicken with scallion greens and serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
This was absolutely delicious! I wish the panko made it a little crunchier but it was still phenomenal. Especially with the Frank's Red Hot cream sauce that goes on top of the chicken.
Awesome. Perfect chicken that came out great and so much easier than frying! I love all these baked crunchy cutlet recipes you guys have some of my favorite.
We LOVE this recipe. It is my favorite out of the HelloFresh ones I've tried. I love how much kick the chicken has. The one downside was that the potatoes, when cooked to instructions, were unable to be mashed.
Loved the flavor of this dish. We aren't in love with Frank's RedHot, but we used 1/2 of the seasoning, and it was amazing! Loved the crispy cheese on top.
The spicy cayenne sauce and honey paired together is so good! A must try if you love savory and sweet. You can make it as spicy as you want, or not much at all. My entire family loves it.
Made this last night. Very tasty. And pretty. Suggestions: (1) revise menu card WK-26-1 to note the use of HONEY to soften the blow of Frank's sauce; (2) there is a lot of salt in this recipe, maybe put 2 TBSP (or less) in a small bowl and pinch each time from that bowl; (3) lots of milk product here, removed the Jack cheese for my partner, substituted a TBSP of nonfat vanilla yogurt.
I've been hesitant to try recipes with mashed potatoes but this recipe is easy and tasty. I'm learning so much from your recipes, like reserving potato cooking liquid. And who knew there's RedHot spice mix?! That was sooo good!
Loved everything - the chicken was spicy and delicious and paired well with the mashed potatoes and broccoli. (I even forgot to put the honey on it so am not sure what difference it would have made.)
We actually really enjoyed this meal but we wanted it to be spicier! We used the whole packet of Frank's RedHot and we still wanted some more kick. Overall the meal was nice though.
Chicken was tasty and crispy. Loved those mashed potatoes with the green onion. We grilled the broccoli on the grill.... we love it that way.
