Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment.
- Cut potatoes into ½-inch wedges. Toss with olive oil, BBQ seasoning, salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer on one side of the baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut broccoli into small florets. Set aside.
- In a shallow bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt and pepper. In another bowl, place sour cream. Pat chicken cutlets dry and season with salt and pepper. Coat each cutlet first in sour cream, then press into panko to adhere.
- Heat cooking oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
- After potatoes have roasted 20 minutes, push them to one side and add broccoli to the other side. Dot broccoli with 1 tablespoon butter and season with salt and pepper. Return to oven and roast until broccoli is tender and potatoes are crispy, about 10-12 minutes more.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Drizzle over broccoli. Serve chicken and potatoes alongside broccoli and drizzle hot honey over chicken just before serving.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispy chicken, don’t overcrowd the skillet – cook in batches if needed.
If you prefer a milder heat, use regular honey instead of hot honey.
Make sure the potatoes are cut evenly for uniform roasting.
FAQ
Can I use chicken breasts instead of cutlets?
Yes, but slice them in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets or pound them to even thickness for faster cooking.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Absolutely! Use gluten-free panko breadcrumbs and ensure your BBQ seasoning is gluten-free.
What can I substitute for hot honey?
Mix regular honey with a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to mimic the sweet heat.
