Roasted chicken, potatoes, and veggies—an ultimate comfort food combo—is just what everyone at the table is looking for. You'll rub a half chicken with honey mustard butter and pair it with potatoes on a baking sheet. Roast until crispy, burnished, and juicy.

Cooking Steps
-
Adjust rack to middle position (middle and top positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
-
Cut potatoes into 1-inch-thick wedges. Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary.
-
Toss potatoes on one side of a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, half the Fry Seasoning (you'll use the rest later), salt, and pepper (for 4, spread potatoes out across entire sheet).
-
Place 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small microwave-safe bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave in 10-second bursts until softened (not melted!).
-
Stir in dressing, garlic powder, and remaining Fry Seasoning.
-
Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season generously all over with salt and pepper (don't forget the underside!). TIP: See a feather? Simply grip the end with a paper towel and pull!
-
Rub honey mustard butter all over chicken.
-
Place chicken, skin side up, on opposite side of sheet from potatoes (for 4 servings, place chicken on a second sheet). Roast on middle rack until potatoes are tender and chicken is browned and cooked through, 35-45 minutes (for 4, roast chicken on middle rack and potatoes on top rack, swapping rack positions halfway through). TIP: To ensure chicken is cooked through, insert a thermometer into the innermost part of the thigh and breast (avoiding any bones). Once chicken is cooked, the bones may still appear pink—this is OK!
-
Remove sheet from oven and let chicken rest for at least 5 minutes.
-
While potatoes and chicken roast, in a second small bowl, combine mayonnaise and smoky mustard.
-
Once potatoes and chicken are done roasting, heat a large dry pan over medium-high heat. Add broccoli, 2 TBSP water (3 TBSP for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt. Cover and cook until broccoli begins to soften, 1-3 minutes.
-
Add a drizzle of oil to pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 1-2 minutes more.
-
Turn off heat; sprinkle Monterey Jack over broccoli and cover to melt, 30 seconds.
-
Transfer cheesy broccoli, potatoes, and chicken to a serving platter in separate sections. Serve family style with smoky mayo on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
Everything about this meal was delicious from the cheesy broccoli to the seasoned potatoes and the delicious chicken. I like that the chicken and potatoes could be cooked on one pan! It's an easy dish to prepare with minimal cleanup.
This meal turned out amazing! Very flavorful and perfect textures. The chicken was juicy. The broccoli was tender. And the roasted potatoes were the perfect pairing. Delicious and well-rounded portions.
This was 100% the best half chicken recipe ever. Super easy. Great dipping sauce. Perfect marinade. I steamed the broccoli in a steamer pot just because.. great dinner
It was easy to prepare and very flavorful! The smoked mustard sauce was a big hit!
Very flavorful, however chicken could not finish cooking time without becoming a little overly scorched or blackened. Probably should have placed loose sheet of foil on top to finish baking once this became apparent. Great flavor to the potato wedges, all in all a decent meal but not worth the price plus cooking time etc so would not buy again in future. This was our first HF half chicken dinner, we have upcoming in a future box a half baked chicken recipe and will know next time. To try foil to avoid scorched earth chicken.
The side sauce was amazing, kid approved. I used frozen French fries in place of the very small potatoes. The dressing covering the chicken sorta burned before the chicken was to temperature. The chicken was still great, if I make this again I will place the chickens on the lowest rack and lower the temperature.
Amazing and it lasted me 3 days and still tasted amazing re heated. I made the chicken into a simple wrap with chipotle and it was delicious
Everybody was delighted with this meal! Every one said the chicken was very tender and tasty. Common food made tasty new and fresh and filling! GOOD ONE HELLO FRESH
I have never cooked a chicken half. That was fun. It was my first time to use a cooking thermometer. Everything was delicious. I got green beans instead of broccoli but it was fun using the HelloCustom card and working it in.
This was a tasty recipe, but a poor cut of chicken to work with. The chicken was quite small and difficult to separate breast meat and thigh meat to provide 2 servings. I will not order this package again. I will however make the same meal with a larger piece of chicken. For me, the cooking of the broccoli was different and quite good!
