Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and dry the potatoes, then cut them into 1/2-inch wedges. Toss with a drizzle of cooking oil, salt and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, until golden and tender.
- While potatoes roast, cut the broccoli into small florets. Set aside.
- Pat the chicken cutlets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely to keep warm.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the chicken stock concentrate, Dijon mustard and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
- Stir in the sour cream and half the dill (finely chopped). Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the broccoli to the potato baking sheet during the last 10 minutes of roasting or steam/boil until tender-crisp.
- Serve the chicken with roasted potatoes and broccoli and spoon the creamy dill sauce over everything. Garnish with remaining dill.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispy potatoes, make sure they are in a single layer on the baking sheet.
If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a splash of water or chicken broth.
Fresh dill is key; dried dill won’t provide the same bright flavor.
FAQ
Can I use chicken breasts instead of cutlets?
Yes, but slice them in half horizontally to create thinner pieces or pound them to an even thickness for quicker cooking.
What can I substitute for sour cream?
Greek yogurt works well as a substitute for sour cream in this sauce.
Can I make this dish dairy-free?
You can use a dairy-free sour cream alternative and substitute the butter with olive oil or a plant-based butter.
