Old Bay Buttered-Up Chicken
with Garlic Mashed Potatoes & Roasted Veggies
- Milk
Whipping up a compound butter is one of our favorite ways to add big flavor to any dish. Here, we blend the butter with Old Bay Seasoning, then dollop it over seared chicken for rich, smoky, peppery notes. It’s finished with a scallion pan sauce, then paired with sides of roasted green beans and carrots and creamy, garlicky mashed potatoes. A word to the wise: Try topping your still-warm potatoes with a bit of the butter for a truly epic bite.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Place 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small microwave-safe bowl; bring to room temperature. • Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Peel garlic. Trim, peel, and halve carrots lengthwise; slice into green-bean-size pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.
• Place potatoes and garlic in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender, 15-20 minutes. • Reserve ½ cup potato cooking liquid, then drain and return potatoes to pot. • Mash potatoes with sour cream and 1 TBSP plain butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until smooth, 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, trim green beans if necessary. Toss carrots and green beans on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until veggies are tender, 15-20 minutes. • Meanwhile, to bowl with softened butter, add ½ tsp Old Bay Seasoning (1 tsp for 4 servings) (you’ll use more in the next step) and hot sauce to taste; mix to combine. TIP: If butter is not yet softened, microwave for 10 seconds.
• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season with 1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning (2 tsp for 4 servings). • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. • Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites; cook, stirring, until softened, 1 minute. • Stir in stock concentrate and ¼ cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4 servings). Simmer until thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Turn off heat and stir in 1 TBSP plain butter until melted.
• If necessary, reheat mashed potatoes with a splash of potato cooking liquid over low heat for 1-2 minutes. • Divide mashed potatoes, chicken, and veggies between plates. Top chicken with pan sauce, then dollop with Old Bay butter. Garnish with scallion greens and serve. TIP: Top potatoes with some of the sauce or Old Bay butter if you like!

Reviews from our home cooks
I absolutely loved this! It took a while to make (65 minutes), but the result was well worth it - it was extremely yummy! In a rare turn of events, my finished meal looked even more appetizing than the picture on the recipe card! The chicken coated in Old Bay with the delectable Old Bay butter on top was divine and the mashed potatoes were very creamy. Even the very basic roasted green beans and carrots were particularly good this time! I loved the light sauce - it tied everything together quite nicely. I would also highly recommend putting some of the Old Bay butter on top of the mashed potatoes as suggested at the end of the recipe - it took the mashed potatoes to the next level!
This was yummy. I topped the potatoes/veggies with the pan sauce. The Old Bay butter on the chicken was good as well, with there was more of it ; next time I'll use stuff from my kitchen to make a larger portion.
I love old bay. The chicken was fantastic with the pan sauce and old bay butter. The roasted veggies turned out great.
The Old Bay buttered up chicken meal was awesome. I would have never thought of adding the old base season on the chicken and cooking it like that.
The Old Bay seasoning really enhanced the flavor of the chicken. It was a delightful combination with the mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables.
I actually roasted the potatoes along with the carrots. And boiled the green beans in chicken broth with a quartered onion. The chicken was excellent with the Old Bay!
Before subscribing to HelloFresh, I had never used Old Bay seasoning, and from the start I was bowled over. As I expected, I liked this dish. Seasoning the chicken with Old Bay, then topping with a spicy butter made with Old Bay resulted in a tastebud delight.
This is an excellent meal. Everything was fresh and the vegetables were bright in color they roasted very well. Old Bay seasoning works very well with the chicken breast. Potatoes soo good. I like this one alot.
Love Old Bay-chicken was tasty with the garlic mashed but just wasnt crazy about the beans and carrots! Some other veggie would be better!
The mashed potatoes and roasted veggies were delicious. The Old Bay seasoning was a little too salty or peppery so next time I would use less.
