Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and brush with 2 teaspoons cooking oil.
2. Cut potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Place in a pot with salted water, bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to pot.
3. Meanwhile, trim green beans and place on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
4. In a shallow dish, combine panko breadcrumbs, Frank’s Seasoning Blend, and Monterey Jack cheese. Pat chicken cutlets dry, season with salt and pepper, then press into the breadcrumb mixture to coat both sides.
5. Place coated chicken on the other side of the baking sheet with green beans. Roast until chicken is golden and cooked through (165°F internal) and green beans are tender, about 15-18 minutes.
6. While chicken roasts, mash the cooked potatoes with 2 tablespoons butter, sour cream, and a splash of cooking water until creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Slice scallions thinly and stir most into the mashed potatoes, reserving some for garnish.
7. In a small bowl, whisk together honey and remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter. Drizzle over the roasted chicken.
8. Serve chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans. Garnish with reserved scallions.

Recipe Tips

FAQ

Can I use chicken breasts instead of cutlets?

Yes, you can use boneless skinless chicken breasts. Slice them in half horizontally to create cutlets, or pound them to an even thickness.

Can I prepare this recipe ahead of time?

You can prep the green beans and mix the breadcrumb coating ahead. However, for best crispiness, coat and roast the chicken just before serving.

What can I substitute for Frank's Seasoning Blend?

You can use a mix of cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to approximate the flavor.
