Crispy Maple Chicken
with Mashed Sweet Potatoes & Roasted Green Beans
- Milk
- Wheat
Chicken is always a weeknight winner. It’s satisfying, speedy, and so versatile, which is why our chefs are always brainstorming new ways to take it to the next level. This week, they went all out by coating cutlets in spiced panko, roasting them to crispy-juicy perfection, then drizzling ‘em with a spicy maple syrup sauce. (Psst—said sauce would also be unbelievable on pancakes.) On the side, there’s roasted green beans and maple mashed sweet potatoes, perfect for catching any runaway sauce. Time to TAP into a flavor explosion (see what we did there?).

Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to middle position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
Peel and dice sweet potatoes into ½-inch pieces.
Reserve 1 tsp maple syrup (2 tsp for 4) for sweet potatoes; pour remaining into a small bowl. Stir in a pinch of salt and chili flakes to taste. Set aside.
Place sweet potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender when pierced with a fork, 15-20 minutes.
Drain and return sweet potatoes to pot. Mash off heat with reserved maple syrup, half the sour cream (you’ll use the rest later), 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
While sweet potatoes cook, place 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a second small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, 30 seconds.
Stir in panko, Fry Seasoning, 1 TBSP olive oil (2 TBSP for 4), and a big pinch of salt.
Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper.
Lightly oil a baking sheet and place chicken on one side. (For 4 servings, spread chicken out across entire sheet.) Evenly spread remaining sour cream onto tops of chicken; mound with panko mixture, pressing to adhere (no need to coat the undersides).
Roast chicken on middle rack for 8 minutes (you’ll add more to the sheet then).
While chicken roasts, trim green beans if necessary; toss in a medium bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Once chicken has roasted 8 minutes, remove sheet from oven and carefully add green beans to empty side. (For 4 servings, leave chicken roasting and add green beans to a second sheet; roast on top rack.)
Continue roasting until chicken is cooked through and green beans are tender, 12-15 minutes more.
Divide sweet potatoes, chicken, and green beans between plates. Drizzle chicken with spicy maple syrup and sprinkle with more chili flakes if desired. Serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
The flavor of the maple chicken was delicious and a nice combination of sweet & heat. The mashed sweet potatoes were also great and had a nice sweetness, almost like a dessert!
Another hit at our house! The flavor was not overpowering (we did add only about 1/8th of the chili flakes), but so very yummy. The maple flavor was on point and we drizzled it over the entire meal, not just the chicken. Will order this option again.
The chicken turned out amazing. I could never get the breading to get crispy when I did it before. The directions made it easy.
I made this recipe with microwaving the sweet potato and steaming the green beans. Much faster and less steps. I received a thick piece of chicken and a very thin piece of chicken so it was not cooked at all for the time given in the recipe. I had to throw it back in for an additional 10-15 minutes as it was undercooked on the underside. I used the maple syrup and hot flakes as a dipping side since not everyone likes spicy food in our family and are watching their sugar intake. It did taste good however!
Chicken and green beans are tasty...but my favorite was the mashed sweet potatoes. They should make this a side with more of their meal kits! So good.😊
Everything was delicious. The maple syrup mixed w the chili flakes on top of the chicken was amazing!
Great crisp to the chicken! Mashed sweet potatoes are actually a great side. Absolutely delishous.
I missed the sour cream step but it still breaded on the chicken well enough to still taste. I messed up the sweet potatoes but next time I would do chunks than trying mashed. But they were good. I didn't get the maple flavor in them as much. Had fun making it.
The cooking time was a little off. The chicken was a little overcooked, and the green beans weren't quite done. The meal was overall enjoyable, and would get again.
Like the contrast of maple sweetness with the crispy panko coating.
