Ingredients
Instructions
- Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 450°F. Wash and dry produce. Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Pick and finely chop fronds from dill.
- 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 pan used for chicken over medium heat. Stir in stock concentrate, 2 TBSP water (4 TBSP for 4 servings) and as much chopped dill and mustard as you like. Remove pan from heat; stir in sour cream and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4), scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan. Season with salt and pepper. TIP: If sauce seems too thick, add more water 1 tsp at a time until it reaches a drizzling consistency.
- Slice chicken crosswise. Divide chicken, potatoes and broccoli between plates and drizzle with sauce. Garnish with any remaining chopped 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 prefer a milder mustard flavor, start with 1 teaspoon of Dijon and adjust to taste.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
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.
What can I substitute for sour cream?
Greek yogurt or crème fraîche work well as substitutes. They will provide a similar creamy texture and tangy flavor.
Can I make this dish dairy-free?
To make it dairy-free, use a plant-based butter and dairy-free sour cream or yogurt. The sauce may have a slightly different consistency but will still be delicious.
