Cooking Steps

Prep
1

• Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bring 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) to room temperature. Wash and dry produce. • 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, salt, and pepper.

Crust Chicken
2

• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and place in 1 aluminum tray. (For 4 servings, divide chicken between 2 trays.) Season chicken 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 panko mixture, pressing to adhere (no need to coat the undersides).

Prep Broccoli
3

• Cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces if necessary; place in remaining tray. Toss with a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper; drizzle with 2 TBSP water. (For 4 servings, divide broccoli between remaining trays. Use 2 TBSP water for each tray.) • Cover tray tightly with foil.

Roast Chicken & Broccoli
4

• Roast chicken on top rack and broccoli on middle rack until chicken is browned and cooked through and broccoli is tender, 15-20 minutes. TIP: If broccoli is done before chicken, remove from oven and continue roasting chicken.

Prep Ciabatta
5

• 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). Season with salt and pepper. TIP: If butter is not yet softened, microwave for 5-10 seconds before mixing with the seasoning. • Spread seasoned butter onto cut sides of ciabatta and evenly sprinkle with Monterey Jack.

Toast Ciabatta & Serve
6

• When chicken has 5 minutes left, carefully place ciabatta cut sides up directly on oven rack (or use a baking sheet). Bake until bread is toasted and cheese melts, 4-5 minutes. • Halve ciabatta on a diagonal; divide between plates along with chicken and broccoli. Serve with remaining Honey Dijon Dressing on the side for dipping.

Review summary

Updated on Dec 2025
  • Flavor: Many loved the walnut crust and honey Dijon combo; some found it bland and wanted more seasoning 🍗.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and simple for most, though some felt "oven-ready" was misleading as prep was still required.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding more herbs or spices to boost flavor; roast broccoli uncovered for better texture.
  • Leftovers: Chicken reheats well for some; others found it dry or rubbery when reheated.
  • Portions: Ample broccoli for most; some wanted more chicken or found cutlet sizes inconsistent.
