Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and cut the potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until golden and tender.
- While potatoes roast, cut the broccoli into small florets. After potatoes have been roasting for 10 minutes, add the broccoli to the same baking sheet, drizzle with a little oil and continue roasting until both are done.
- Pat the chicken cutlets dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cutlets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt. Stir in the minced garlic and dried thyme, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the honey and chicken stock concentrate to the skillet, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, turning to coat in the sauce. Cook for another minute until heated through.
- Serve the honey thyme chicken alongside the roasted potatoes and broccoli. Spoon any remaining pan sauce over the top.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispy potatoes, make sure they are in a single layer on the baking sheet and not overcrowded.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer a minute or two longer until it reaches your desired consistency.
Substitute chicken cutlets with boneless skinless chicken breasts pounded to even thickness if needed.
