Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch wedges. Toss them with half of the BBQ seasoning and a drizzle of oil. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until golden and tender.
3. While the potatoes roast, pat the chicken cutlets dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs with the remaining BBQ seasoning. Press each cutlet into the breadcrumbs, coating both sides.
4. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil. Cook the chicken cutlets for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F). Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
5. Steam the broccoli: place it in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, until bright green and tender. Drain and toss with a pat of butter, if desired.
6. Serve the chicken alongside the roasted potatoes and steamed broccoli. Drizzle the hot honey over the chicken. Enjoy!
7. Tip: For extra crispiness, you can finish the chicken under the broiler for 1-2 minutes after pan-frying.

Recipe Tips

FAQ

Can I use chicken breasts instead of cutlets?

Yes, simply slice chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thin cutlets or pound them to an even thickness.

What can I substitute for hot honey?

Mix regular honey with a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to make your own hot honey.

How do I reheat leftovers?

Reheat in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes to keep the chicken crispy. Avoid microwaving, as it will soften the coating.
