• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into 1-inch-thick pieces. Trim and thinly slice mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!). Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. **Adjust rack to middle position. Trim and discard woody bottom ends from asparagus. (Save carrots for another use.)**

• Toss carrots on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until tender, 25-30 minutes. • Meanwhile, dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces (peel first for a smoother texture). Place in a large pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. • Reserve ½ cup potato cooking liquid, then drain and return potatoes to pot. Keep covered off heat until ready to mash. **Swap in asparagus for carrots; roast on middle rack, 10-12 minutes.**

• While potatoes cook, 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. • Transfer to a plate.

• Heat pot with drained potatoes over low heat; add half the sour cream (you’ll use the rest later) and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Mash potatoes until smooth and creamy, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. Season with salt and pepper.

• Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for chicken over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and scallion whites; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened, 2-4 minutes. • Stir in stock concentrate and ¼ cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4 servings). Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Turn off heat; stir in remaining sour cream and 1 TBSP butter. Season with salt and pepper.

• Heat pan with sauce over medium low; add chicken and spoon sauce over top. Evenly top chicken with Monterey Jack. Cover pan until cheese melts, 1-2 minutes. • Divide chicken, carrots, and mashed potatoes between plates. Spoon remaining sauce over chicken and potatoes. Garnish with scallion greens and serve. ***Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.***
