Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F with racks in the top and middle positions. Wash and dry all produce. Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if needed. Finely chop the dill fronds.
- On a baking sheet, toss potatoes with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast on the top rack until lightly browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pat chicken cutlets dry with paper towels and season both sides 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. Transfer 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 the middle rack until tender, 12-15 minutes.
- Return the pan used for chicken to medium heat. Stir in the chicken stock concentrate, 2 tablespoons water (4 tablespoons for 4 servings) and as much chopped dill and Dijon mustard as you like. Remove from heat; stir in sour cream and 1 tablespoon butter (2 tablespoons for 4 servings), scraping up any browned bits. Season with salt and pepper. If the sauce is too thick, add water 1 teaspoon at a time until drizzling consistency.
- Slice the rested chicken crosswise. Divide chicken, potatoes and broccoli among plates. Drizzle with sauce and garnish with remaining chopped dill if desired. Serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispy potatoes, spread them in a single layer without overcrowding the baking sheet.
If you don’t have chicken stock concentrate, substitute 2 tablespoons of low-sodium chicken broth.
Let the chicken rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
FAQ
Can I use chicken breasts instead of cutlets?
Yes, but you’ll need to pound them to an even thickness (about ½ inch) for even cooking. Adjust cooking time as needed.
Can I make the sauce ahead of time?
The sauce is best made fresh, but you can prepare it up to an hour in advance and reheat gently over low heat, adding a splash of water if it thickens.
What can I substitute for sour cream?
Greek yogurt or crème fraîche work well as substitutes. Use plain, full-fat versions for the best consistency.
