Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges.
• In a small bowl, combine two packets of sour cream and a pinch of Garden Ranch Spice (four packets of sour cream and a big pinch of Garden Ranch Spice for 4 servings). (You’ll use more Garden Ranch Spice later.) • Season with salt and pepper. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.
• In a second small bowl, combine panko, a drizzle of oil (large drizzle for 4 servings), salt, and pepper.
• Toss broccoli on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, 2 tsp Garden Ranch Spice (4 tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. (Be sure to measure the Garden Ranch Spice—we sent more!) • Toss potatoes on empty side of sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. (For 4, toss broccoli and potatoes on two separate sheets.)
• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with half the Fry Seasoning (all for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. • Push veggies to one side of sheet (for 4, push broccoli to one side of sheet). Place chicken on empty side of sheet; evenly spread tops of chicken with remaining sour cream. Mound coated sides with seasoned panko, pressing to adhere (no need to coat the undersides). • Roast on top rack until veggies are roasted and browned and chicken is cooked through, 15-20 minutes. (For 4, roast on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through.)
• Divide chicken, potatoes, and broccoli between plates. Drizzle crema over chicken. Serve.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

- Ease of prep: Customers appreciate the simple one-pan cooking and easy cleanup, though actual prep takes longer than advertised.
- Suggestions: Cook potatoes 10 minutes before adding chicken and broccoli since they need more time to get tender.
- Portions: Most get two meals from this recipe, though some wanted more broccoli and larger potatoes for proper wedges.
- Cooking tips: Add extra ranch seasoning to the crema for more flavor; serve sauce on the side to keep breading crispy.
Reviews from our home cooks
The broccoli was the best part of the meal. The chicken cooked evenly but despite having several ingredients, were pretty bland. Potatoes need to be done in a breakfast style; diced and then seasoned and cooked in a skillet. The potatoes aren't big enough to make fry style wedges. The recipe wasn't super easy to comprehend, we wish it would've been upfront about placement on the sheet pan instead of having to move ingredients after they were placed. Recipe also didn't state what to do with the other half of the fry seasoning.
I liked it! Wasn't my favorite meal, but it was good. The ranch crema was ok, but could have been more flavorful. I think the ranch seasoning was close to good ranch, but not quite there. I was really happy to get broccoli because I feel like I've been getting carrots too frequently, so it was nice to switch it up a little.
I would recommend adding some fry seasoning to the panko breading as well. Otherwise it just tastes like oily bread crumbs. I also felt like I needed to add a lot of salt to the ranch crema. It was pretty bland. I think adding some mayo might help.
The chicken had a nice flavor with the breading topping and we liked the ranch crema. The cooking time didn't seem to add up right for the potatoes - we had add a lot more time to those.
This was a sheet pan dinner and the potatoes took much much longer than the rest making the broccoli overcooked and by the time the potatoes were done everything else was cold. (we ended up cooking the potatoes much longer than the rest!)
This is DELICIOUS! The potatoes and chicken have great flavor, and the ranch crema is very good.
Good but not much of a ranch flavor for the crema. I used all the ranch seasoning also. Broccoli was good.
