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.
• Dice potatoes into 1⁄2-inch pieces (peel
first if desired!). Cut broccoli into bite-size
pieces if necessary.
• In a small bowl, combine maple syrup, 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 1⁄2 cup potato cooking liquid (3⁄4 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.***
