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?).

Ingredients
Broccoli
8 ounce
Potatoes
12 ounce
Maple Syrup
2 tablespoon
Chili Flakes
1 teaspoon
Sour Cream
1.5 tablespoon
Panko Breadcrumbs
0.5 cup
Fry Seasoning
1 tablespoon
Chicken Cutlets
10 ounce
Salt
Pepper
Olive Oil
4 teaspoon
Cooking Oil
1 teaspoon
Butter
2 tablespoon
Preparation
1
• 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.
2
• 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.
3
• 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.
4
• 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).
5
• 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.
6
• 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.***
