Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces.
• 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.
Toss potatoes on one side of a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, remaining Ranch Spice, salt, and pepper. • Toss carrots on empty side with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, divide between 2 sheets; roast potatoes on top rack and carrots on middle rack for 20-25 minutes total.) • Roast on top rack for 5 minutes (you’ll add more to the sheet then).
• Meanwhile, pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. Place on a plate. Spread tops of chicken with 1 tsp mayonnaise each (you’ll use the rest later). Mound with panko mixture, pressing firmly to adhere (no need to coat the undersides). • Once veggies have roasted 5 minutes, remove from oven. Push veggies to one side of sheet. Carefully place chicken, coated sides up, on empty side. (For 4 servings, leave veggies roasting; add chicken to a third sheet and roast on middle rack.) • Roast until potatoes and carrots are golden brown and tender and chicken is cooked through, 15-20 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, in a second small bowl, combine remaining mayonnaise with Sriracha to taste.
• Divide chicken, potato wedges, and carrots between plates. Serve with Sriracha mayo on the side for dipping.

Reviews from our home cooks
Absolutely amazing. The Panko, ranch seasoning, and Monterey Jack on top of the chicken made the chicken nice and crispy with a phenomenal flavor without frying and keeping the chicken meat moist and tender! The Ranch seasoned potatoes were the perfect side dish. Tried the Mayo & Sriracha - I'm not a big fan of the flavor although it added a unique flavor to the meal it just wasn't my cup of Sriracha. Another incredible meal!
Once again I was impressed as to how quick it was to prepare this dish. Loved the ranch potatoes and the Monterey Jack topping on the chicken. I opted to sauté the green beans in olive oil and they were amazing. Will definitely make this recipe again. Super easy.
I liked that this dish went together all in one pan for easy cleanup! The use of mayonnaise as a coating for the Monterey Jack to stick to was very clever and made the chicken extremely juicy. The sriracha mayo sauce was delish!
We like this one a lot. We're really fond of ranch seasoning, and the un-fried chicken usually turns out delicious if we don't mess up when cooking it. If there's a version of this with lemon green beans, that could be fantastic, since that's our favorite way to eat green beans. Or if there's an option to switch the green beans with broccoli, that would be lovely.
Chicken is the star of this meal with its topping of panko and monterey jack cheese. The carrots and potatoes were fine, but the chicken was really great. And the mayo and sriracha dipping sauce was a very nice touch.
Chicken was juicy, breading was packed with flavor. Dipped the crispy green beans in the Sriracha sauce, roasted potatoes came out fantastic. This was an excellent meal!
Your Monterey Jack Un-fried chicken was one of my top 5. You could not have asked for a better recipe. The mayonnaise on top of the cutlets is a stoke of genius. Our chicken was not only flavorful but moist and tender. Thanks again for another wonderful meal!
The Monterey Jack Un-Fried Chicken was so crispy and flavorful without the guilt of eating fried chicken, and a tasty Sriracho Sauce to boot. The vegetables nicely rounded out the meal.
Too much ranch seasoning. Maybe only on the chicken and not the fries? Rename dish to Monterey Jack and Ranch un fried chicken. JMO
The chicken tasted really good with Monterey jack cheese and the panko on it, I just wish there was a bigger portion of meat for the 2 of us. The potato wedges tasted good with the ranch seasoning, and cooked fast along with the carrots. Thanks soo much! I love that the recipes are easy to cook and the box comes straight to your door!
