Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Cut the broccoli into small florets. Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread on one side of the baking sheet.
3. In a shallow bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt and pepper. In another bowl, combine sour cream and half of the BBQ seasoning.
4. Pat the chicken cutlets dry. Coat each cutlet with the sour cream mixture, then press into the panko to adhere. Place on the other side of the baking sheet.
5. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the chicken is golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F) and the broccoli is tender.
6. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the remaining BBQ seasoning. Brush the mixture over the biscuits (if using store-bought biscuits, bake according to package directions).
7. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle the hot honey over the chicken. Serve the chicken with the roasted broccoli and BBQ butter biscuits on the side.

Recipe Tips

FAQ

Can I use regular honey instead of hot honey?

Yes, but you’ll lose the spicy kick. To mimic the heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the honey.

What can I substitute for the BBQ seasoning?

A mix of smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and a pinch of brown sugar works well.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Use gluten-free panko breadcrumbs and ensure your BBQ seasoning is gluten-free.
