There’s nothing like crunchy chicken—and this version is super-simple! You'll coat cutlets with honey Dijon dressing, then pile on a mix of panko breadcrumbs and pecans. Nestle them next to garlic-thyme potatoes in our oven-ready tray, then bake to perfection. Serve with buttery green beans, then toss (or recycle!) the tray for an easy cleanup.

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

Cooking Steps

Roast Potatoes
1

• Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Dice potatoes into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Toss potatoes in oven-ready tray with a drizzle of oil, garlic powder, half the thyme (all for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. (For 4, use one tray for potatoes. You’ll use the second tray in Step 4.) • Roast on top rack until just tender, 5-8 minutes (you’ll add more to the tray then).

Make Pecan Topping
2

• Meanwhile, place 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a medium microwave- safe bowl; microwave until melted, 30 seconds. • Finely chop pecans. • Add pecans, panko, half the Fry Seasoning (you’ll use the rest later), a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to bowl with melted butter. Stir to combine.

Coat Chicken
3

• Reserve about half the honey Dijon dressing in a small bowl (set aside for use in Step 6). • Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season all over with remaining Fry Seasoning, salt, and pepper. Transfer to a plate. • Spread tops of chicken with a thin layer of remaining honey Dijon dressing. Mound chicken with pecan topping, pressing firmly to adhere (no need to coat the undersides).

Roast Chicken
4

• Once potatoes have roasted 5-8 minutes, remove from oven. • Carefully push potatoes to one side of tray; place chicken, coated sides up, on opposite side. Return tray to oven and roast on middle rack until potatoes are tender, chicken is cooked through, and pecan topping is golden brown, 15-20 minutes. (For 4 servings, leave potatoes roasting on top rack; add chicken to second tray and roast on middle rack.)

Cook Green Beans
5

• Meanwhile, trim green beans if necessary. • Place green beans and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a second medium microwave-safe bowl; season with salt and pepper. Cover tightly with plastic wrap; microwave until slightly tender, 1-2 minutes.

Finish & Serve
6

• Divide pecan chicken, potatoes, and green beans between plates in separate sections. Drizzle chicken with as much reserved honey Dijon dressing as you like. Serve.

Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

  • Flavor: Many loved the crispy, juicy chicken with its delicious pecan crust and honey Dijon sauce 🍗.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to make, though some found dicing potatoes time-consuming.
  • Suggestions: Consider roasting green beans instead of microwaving; cook potatoes longer or use smaller varieties for even cooking.
  • Portions: Some found the chicken portions small; others wanted more vegetables.
  • Cooking times: Potatoes often needed 15-20 minutes longer than stated; chicken sometimes required extra time too.

The chicken looked like they were seconds, one came in pieces. The pecans were good with the honey mustard dressing

All very good - I like more pecan flavoring than what was included, so I added more pecans to the chicken coating mixture.

There was not enough space in one aluminum tray to properly cook the potatoes and chicken. I would also recommend a longer cooking time for the potatoes on the first step.
