Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bring 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4) to room temperature. Wash and dry produce. • Zest and halve lemon. • Using a heavy-bottomed pan or rolling pin, crush walnuts in their bag until finely ground. In a small bowl, combine walnuts, panko, a large drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of lemon zest, and a big pinch of salt and pepper.
• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and place on one side of a baking sheet (spread out across entire sheet for 4 servings). Season all over with half the Fry Seasoning (you’ll use more later), salt, and pepper. • Evenly spread tops of chicken with half the honey Dijon dressing (save the rest for serving). Mound coated sides with walnut mixture, pressing to adhere (no need to coat the undersides).
• Cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces if necessary. • Toss broccoli on opposite side of sheet from chicken with a drizzle of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. (For 4 servings, add broccoli to a second sheet.) Place lemon halves cut sides down next to broccoli.
• Roast chicken and broccoli on top rack until chicken is browned and cooked through, lemon is charred, and broccoli is tender, 15-18 minutes. (For 4 servings, roast chicken on top rack and broccoli on middle rack.)
• While chicken and broccoli roast, halve ciabatta. • In a second small microwave-safe bowl, combine softened butter and half the remaining Fry Seasoning (use the rest as you like). (TIP: If butter is not yet softened, microwave for 5-10 seconds before mixing with the seasoning.) Season with salt and pepper. • Spread seasoned butter onto cut sides of ciabatta and evenly sprinkle with Monterey Jack.
• When chicken has 5 minutes left, carefully place ciabatta cut sides up on same sheet. Return to oven until bread is toasted and cheese melts. • Carefully toss broccoli with a pinch of lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice. • Halve ciabatta on a diagonal; divide between plates along with chicken and broccoli. Serve with remaining lemon and remaining honey Dijon dressing on the side for dipping.

Reviews from our home cooks
Love the ease and the flavors between the broccoli and the garlic bread to the chicken and honey dijon! Family loved this, especially my 11 year old son!
Love the crunch of the panko with walnuts on the chicken breast. The cheese toast was a great addition. I enjoyed the lemon flavor of the warm lemons! Excellent!
I was skeptical that my household would enjoy a walnut topping, but it came out amazing. And this was such an EASY meal to make.
Chicken with the honey mustard as the binder for the walnut topping was excellent. I would do less lemon on the broccoli
This recipe was missing ingredients- the walnuts and the monterey jack cheese. It's difficult to judge it without a main ingredient, but it was decent. The toasted ciabatta (sans cheese) was decent, and so was the chicken with just the panko. We did not enjoy the roasted broccoli, especially not with the lemon. Lemon and broccoli are not a good combination, I've decided after eating this meal. It took much longer to cook the chicken to an acceptable internal temperature than the recipe directed.
Using walnuts is a new idea to us....we loved that part but I will not eat dijon mustard so we left it out and it left the meat pretty bland.....the bread was amazing and HelloFresh may be making a broccoli eater out of me!
Did not do the broccoli since we like stir fry. Walnuts and breading was very tasty. The Dijon honey mustard satisfied our sweet tooth.
DELICIOUS!!!! Make and add to the recipe as much lemon zest possible. The baked lemon halves squeezed over the broccoli really balanced the oven baked char with some brightness and citrus tang. The pecan panko honey mustard glaze mix was amazing! Pinot grigio... I'm just saying.
Breaded chicken was great. Loved the roasted broccoli, not too much lemon, but just enough. My daughter ate most of the bread lol (still tasty though)
THE CHICKEN WAS CRISPY AND JUICY AND THE CIABATTA BREAD FILLED YOU RIGHT UP. AWESOME
