Spicy Maple Chicken
with Mashed Potatoes & Roasted Broccoli
- Milk
- Wheat
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 broccoli and mashed 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 potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces if necessary. • Pour maple syrup into a small bowl. Stir in a pinch of salt and chili flakes to taste. Set aside.
• Place 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. • Reserve ½ cup potato cooking liquid (¾ cup for 4 servings), then drain. Return potatoes to pot and mash with half the sour cream (you’ll use the rest later), 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4), salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. Cover pot to keep warm.
• While 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 5 minutes (you’ll add more to the sheet then).
• While chicken roasts, toss broccoli in a medium bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. • Once chicken has roasted 5 minutes, remove sheet from oven and carefully add broccoli to empty side. (For 4 servings, leave chicken roasting and add broccoli to a second sheet; roast on top rack.) • Continue roasting until chicken is cooked through and broccoli is tender, 15-20 minutes more.
• Divide potatoes, chicken, and broccoli 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 165º.

Reviews from our home cooks
So good! The sweet and spicy maple glaze on the chicken was perfectly balanced and added amazing flavor without being overpowering. The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender inside, while the creamy mashed potatoes were smooth and comforting. The roasted broccoli added a nice fresh bite to round out the meal. Everything came together beautifully and felt like a cozy, elevated dinner. Definitely one I'd order again!
Very good, the spicy maple is a game changer. I was a bit skeptical of the sweet + spicy, but it came together very nicely with the mashed potatoes and broccoli! I would have steamed the broccoli instead as I enjoy softer broccoli. It was still a bit tough after 20mins of baking in the oven.
The chicken with the spicy maple flavoring was soooo delicious. The panko that fell off the chicken while cooking was great with the broccoli. Wow! The potatoes didn't have much flavor next to the chicken or broccoli though.
The broccoli was a perfect compliment to the potatoes. The maple chili sauce was very tasty, sweet with a little spicy kick. The breading was so tasty and full of flavor. Loved this!
This one was definitely a party in my mouth. The chicken had a touch of sweet maple with just the right amount of heat. The broccoli was cooked perfectly and tasted so good.
I love this recipe. The chicken was the perfect crisp and the maple paired so well with the spice. One of my favorites so far
Very crispy and flavorful. The maple and chili really work well together. Broccoli is pretty bland and needs something to spice it up. Maybe a sauce that would work with the potatoes as well?
We tried the Spicy Maple Chicken recipe last evening for dinner and my husband and I thought it was very well balanced, delicious and easy to prepare.
Roasted broccoli, mega yummy. The spicy maple topping was a really pleasant surprise. I left most of the peel on my potatoes. The addition of sour cream was delicious. My only complaint was the dry and toughness of the chicken.
Loved the spicy maple sauce in this one. The broccoli would have been better steamed with a little butter. Instead, it just tasted a little burnt and bland. Potatoes were great, but it would be nice to get better portions.
