Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the potatoes into ½-inch wedges. Toss them with half of the BBQ seasoning and a drizzle of oil. Spread on one side of the baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Pat the chicken cutlets dry, then coat each cutlet in panko, pressing gently to adhere. Place on the other side of the baking sheet.
- After 20 minutes, flip the potatoes and add the chicken to the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the chicken is golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F) and the potatoes are tender.
- While the chicken and potatoes bake, steam the broccoli: place broccoli florets in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons water. Cover and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, until bright green and tender. Drain and toss with a pat of butter if desired.
- In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with the remaining BBQ seasoning to make a dipping sauce.
- Serve the crispy chicken with roasted potatoes and broccoli. Drizzle hot honey over the chicken and enjoy.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispy chicken, spray the panko-coated cutlets with cooking spray before baking.
If you don’t have a microwave, steam the broccoli in a steamer basket over boiling water for 3-4 minutes.
Adjust the amount of hot honey to your spice preference.
FAQ
Can I use chicken breasts instead of cutlets?
Yes, just slice chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thin cutlets or pound them to an even thickness.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Absolutely! Substitute the panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free panko or crushed gluten-free crackers.
How do I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
