Sour cream and onion is good for more than just potato chips: here, the iconic flavor combo stars in a creamy, savory sauce you’ll serve over juicy chicken cutlets. Mashed potatoes pair perfectly with any extra sauce on your plate (you’ll want to get every last drop!), while roasted carrots give the dish just the right amount of earthy sweetness.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Start Prep & Cook Potatoes
1

• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Dice potatoes into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Place potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. • Reserve 1⁄2 cup potato cooking liquid, then drain. Return potatoes to pot. (You’ll finish the potatoes in Step 4.)

Finish Prep & Roast Carrots
2

• While potatoes cook, trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into 1⁄2-inch-thick pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. • Toss carrots on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast on top rack until tender, 20-25 minutes.

Trim and discard woody bottom ends from asparagus or cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Swap in asparagus or broccoli for carrots. Roast until browned and tender, 10-12 minutes. (Save carrots for another use.)

Cook Chicken
3

• Meanwhile, pat chicken* dry with paper towels; place between two large pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with a mallet or rolling pin until chicken is about 1⁄2 inch thick. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board. Reserve pan.

Make Mashed Potatoes
4

• To pot with potatoes, add 3 TBSP butter (6 TBSP for 4 servings) and season with salt and pepper. Mash until smooth, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. • Cover and set aside.

Make Sauce
5

• Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for chicken over medium heat. Add scallion whites and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. • Whisk in cream sauce base, onion paste, and 1⁄4 cup water (1⁄2 cup for 4 servings). Cook, whisking, until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Remove from heat and whisk in sour cream and a pinch of sugar until smooth.

Finish Chicken
6

• Slice chicken crosswise and add to pan with sauce. Toss to coat.

Serve
7

• Divide mashed potatoes, chicken, and carrots between plates. Spoon any remaining sauce over chicken. Garnish chicken and mashed potatoes with scallion greens and serve.

Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

This one was good. It isn't great hence the 3 star but 3 stars is ok and acceptable. 4 star is hard to give. Good sauce, subbed the carrots.
