Ingredients
Instructions
- Adjust oven racks to top and middle positions and preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry produce. Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if needed. Finely chop dill fronds.
- Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast on top rack until lightly browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, 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, 5-7 minutes per side. Turn off heat; transfer chicken to a cutting board to rest.
- While chicken cooks, toss broccoli on a second baking sheet with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast on middle rack until tender, 12-15 minutes.
- Heat the same pan used for chicken over medium heat. Stir in stock concentrate, 2 tablespoons water (4 for 4 servings) and as much chopped dill and mustard as you like. Remove from heat; stir in sour cream and 1 tablespoon butter (2 for 4 servings), scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan. Season with salt and pepper. If sauce is too thick, add more water 1 teaspoon at a time until drizzling consistency.
- Slice chicken crosswise. Divide chicken, potatoes and broccoli among plates. Drizzle with sauce. Garnish with remaining dill if desired and serve.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispy potatoes, spread them in a single layer on the baking sheet and avoid overcrowding.
If you don’t have chicken stock concentrate, substitute 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth and reduce the added water in the sauce.
The sauce can be made ahead and gently reheated, but it’s best fresh.
FAQ
Can I use chicken breasts instead of cutlets?
Yes, you can use boneless skinless chicken breasts. Pound them to an even thickness for even cooking and adjust cooking time as needed.
Can I substitute the dill with another herb?
Fresh dill adds a distinct flavor, but you can substitute with fresh parsley or tarragon for a different but delicious taste.
How do I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
