Spicy Maple Chicken
with Roasted Broccoli & Green Beans
- Wheat
- Milk
Chicken is always a weeknight winner. It’s satisfying, speedy, and so versatile, which is why our chefs are always brainstorming new ways to take it to the next level. This week, they went all out by coating cutlets in spiced panko, roasting them to crispy-juicy perfection, then drizzling ‘em with a spicy maple syrup sauce. (Psst—said sauce would also be unbelievable on pancakes.) On the side, there’s roasted green beans and maple mashed sweet potatoes, perfect for catching any runaway sauce. Time to TAP into a flavor explosion (see what we did there?).

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to middle position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Peel and dice sweet potatoes into ½-inch pieces. • Reserve 1 tsp maple syrup (2 tsp for 4) for sweet potatoes; pour remaining into a small bowl. Stir in a pinch of salt and chili flakes to taste. Set aside.
Cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces if necessary. (Save sweet potatoes for another use.)
• Place sweet potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender when pierced with a fork, 15-20 minutes. • Drain and return sweet potatoes to pot. Mash off heat with reserved maple syrup, half the sour cream (you’ll use the rest later), 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
Skip this step!
• While sweet potatoes cook, place 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a second small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, 30 seconds. • Stir in panko, Fry Seasoning, 1 TBSP olive oil (2 TBSP for 4), and a big pinch of salt.
• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. • Lightly oil a baking sheet and place chicken on one side. (For 4 servings, spread chicken out across entire sheet.) Evenly spread remaining sour cream onto tops of chicken; mound with panko mixture, pressing to adhere (no need to coat the undersides). • Roast chicken on middle rack for 8 minutes (you’ll add more to the sheet then).
• While chicken roasts, trim green beans if necessary; toss in a medium bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. • Once chicken has roasted 8 minutes, remove sheet from oven and carefully add green beans to empty side. (For 4 servings, leave chicken roasting and add green beans to a second sheet; roast on top rack.) • Continue roasting until chicken is cooked through and green beans are tender, 12-15 minutes more.
Toss broccoli in bowl with green beans. Cook through the rest of this step as instructed, roasting broccoli along with green beans.
• Divide sweet potatoes, chicken, and green beans between plates. Drizzle chicken with spicy maple syrup and sprinkle with more chili flakes if desired. Serve.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Reviews from our home cooks
I love this meal! I like that I get 3 different veggies and the fry seasoning + spicy maple is such a good combo. I think the broccoli and green beans need seasoning though.
Made the mistake of adding ALL chili red peppers to maple syrup. I do not eat sweet potatoes. You sent broccoli in place. I baked broccoli and green beans together on baking sheet. Chicken was delicious. No complaint.
The instructions bounced back and forth and were difficult to follow, but I was also quite tired, so that could just be bad timing on my part. We did like the chicken and the maple glaze. But we don't eat sour cream at all, so we just placed the panko on the chicken without the sour cream. An alternate binding idea would be nice so that the panko doesn't just fall everywhere. Overall, the chicken was really good but the sides were super bland.
All 3 Delicious!! Like all the spices used Chicken very tender & sides were tasty Easy to make!!
Perfect topping and quick meal. The maple syrup with red peppers awesome combo of sweet heat. Definitely will do this again.
Perfect crunch on top while keeping the rest of the chicken super moist, really easy (and I think better) way to bake chicken breast quickly
Loved it! Just the right amount of sweet and spicy. Looking forward to having it again.
One of the best recipes so far - and simple. Thanks for letting me swap out the sweet potatoes because both me & my husband hate them
I do not like sweet potatoes. My daughter does not like mashed potatoes. BUT WE BOTH LOVED THESE MASHED SWEET POTATOES! And the chicken was really good, too!
Love the mashed sweet potatoes and the coating on the chicken is top-notch.
