Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce (except green beans).
Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges.
Trim and discard bottom inch from asparagus; cut stalks crosswise into 1-inch pieces. (Save potatoes for another use.)
Place 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave until melted, 30 seconds.
Stir in panko, Monterey Jack, half the Ranch Spice (you’ll use the rest in the next step), salt, and pepper.
In a large bowl, toss potatoes with a large drizzle of olive oil, remaining Ranch Spice, salt, and pepper. Spread out on one side of a baking sheet. (For 4 servings, spread potatoes out across entire sheet; roast for 20-25 minutes.)
Roast on top rack for 5 minutes (you’ll add more to the sheet then).
Swap in asparagus for potatoes; season as instructed (you’ll roast in the next step).
Meanwhile, pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. Spread tops with 1 tsp mayonnaise each. Mound with panko mixture, pressing firmly to adhere.
Once potatoes have roasted 5 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Carefully add chicken to empty side. (For 4 servings, leave potatoes roasting; add chicken to a second sheet and roast on middle rack.)
Roast until potatoes are golden brown and chicken is cooked through, 15-18 minutes more.
Place chicken on one side of a baking sheet; roast for 5 minutes. Once chicken has roasted 5 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Carefully add asparagus to empty side of sheet. Roast until asparagus is browned and tender and chicken is cooked through, 10-12 minutes more.
When chicken and potatoes have 5 minutes left, pierce bag of green beans with a fork; place bag on a plate. Microwave until tender, 1-2 minutes. (TIP: No microwave? No problem! Steam beans in a small pot with a splash of water until just tender, 5-7 minutes.) Transfer to a medium bowl; toss with 1 TBSP butter, salt, and pepper.
Slice chicken crosswise.
Divide chicken, potato wedges, and green beans between plates in separate sections. Serve with Sriracha mayo on the side for dipping.

Reviews from our home cooks
We had the asparagus and loved it. The ranch spice and panko made the chicken very tasty. One pan was wonderful too.
I got the meal with asparagus. The whole thing was so tasty. Definitely a win in my book!
We typically throw on a generic "protein and sides" meal to pack for work lunches each week but this was the best by far the best we've tried. I will definitely be ordering again!
It was a delicious meal, and we had no bad things to report
The topping looked NOTHING like it was supposed to, but it tasted good still.
It was really good! Kind of a weird bummer was that we still got potatoes even tho we opted for a swap to asparagus, so we had three sides. On the one hand, bonus; on the other, it weirded out the calorie count & family dynamic (not entirely your fault, lol).
Froze this meal, thawed and made it. Had to throw everything out except the chicken and dry ingredients. Chicken was decent. Instructions were not clear enough.
Tasted fine but not very interesting and a bit fussy to make. The crust was good though.
The beans needed to be trimmed before cooking which was not suggested
Too many potatoes for two servings -- I had soooo many leftover!
