Recipe Tips
Reserve the serving portion of honey Dijon dressing before brushing the chicken so it stays separate from the raw poultry.
Crush the fried onions just enough to help them stick while keeping some texture for a crunchy topping.
Pat the chicken dry before seasoning so the dressing and topping adhere more evenly.
Drain the sweet potatoes well before mashing so the sour cream makes them creamy instead of loose.
FAQ
How do I keep the crispy onion topping from falling off?
Brush the chicken with honey Dijon dressing first, then gently press the Monterey Jack and fried onion mixture onto the top so it adheres before roasting.
Should the honey Dijon dressing all go on the chicken?
No. Set some aside before handling the chicken so you have clean dressing available for dipping or drizzling at the table.
