Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Core, deseed, and dice poblano and bell pepper into ½-inch pieces. Dice sweet potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Toss veggies on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. (For 4, divide between 2 sheets; roast sweet potatoes on top rack and peppers on middle rack.) • Roast on top rack, tossing halfway through, until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, zest and quarter lime. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and mince garlic. • In a small bowl, combine 2½ TBSP sweet soy glaze, 2 TBSP water, ½ tsp sugar, and a squeeze of lime juice. (For 4 servings, use 5 TBSP sweet soy glaze, 4 TBSP water, and 1 tsp sugar.) (Be sure to measure the sweet soy glaze; we sent more.)
• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. • Turn off heat; transfer to a plate.
• Place 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a second small microwave-safe bowl; microwave until melted, 30 seconds. Stir in a pinch of garlic and a pinch of lime zest; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Wipe out pan used for chicken; heat over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil, scallion whites, and remaining garlic. Cook, stirring, until aromatics are softened and fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Pour in sauce and cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat.
• Once veggies are done, carefully toss with garlic lime butter; season generously with salt and pepper. • Divide veggies and chicken between plates. Top chicken with sauce. Garnish with scallion greens. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.

- Ease of prep: Several noted longer prep time than expected, especially for dicing sweet potatoes; overall found it simple to make.
- Suggestions: Consider serving with rice for a more filling meal; try pounding chicken cutlets for even thickness and tenderness.
- Portions: Some felt chicken portions were too small; others wanted more of the delicious veggie jumble.
- Veggies: The sweet potato and pepper combo was surprisingly popular; a few suggested adding onions or other root vegetables.
Reviews from our home cooks
Cutlets were not of even thickness. Pounded the thicker ones before cooking which made a huge difference. Pounding all of them would help tenderize too. Sauce and chicken would go well over rice although the jumble was delicious.
The end result was well-deserving of 4 stars, for this yummy entree. The garlic lime butter on the veggies (including sweet potatoes, one of my favs), and the sweet soy sauce on the chicken, will have me ordering this again. The 3 stars rating was because the produce ingredients in the bag were not as fresh as I'd expect from HelloFresh, so I had to cut away a bit, here & there, because of that. But in the end, this meal won my hubby over, once again. It was simply delicious.
The potato and pepper jumble was great. I would order this again. I did add rice which was good with the sweet soy sauce.
Wanted a bit more sweet potato, but this was delicious. The cutlets were equally sized and a good protein portion.
Interesting combo with the sweet potatoes and peppers. The sweet soy was a lot like teriyaki which I enjoy. The chicken seemed a bit too rubbery.
The mix of peppers and sweet potatoes is good, but they can easily overcook in the oven. The chicken was fine, but nothing special.
Chicken was okay. Not too much flavor. The jumble was delicious. This meal did not seem to fill us up tho....we ended up making a salad afterwards to help fill us up.
We do love the sweet soy. We don't tend to love so much sweet potato sides though, I'd love to see more mashed potatoes. Great meal
Literally my favorite recipe I've had so far. The sweet potato and pepper jumble was SO good!
The sweet potato and pepper jumble was delicious! Wish I could see it on the menu more often as an option.
