Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F with racks in the top and middle positions. Wash and dry all produce. Dice potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Trim, peel and cut carrots diagonally into ½-inch-thick pieces. Cut broccoli into bite-size florets. Zest the lemon, then quarter it.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine panko, Italian cheese blend, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (2 tsp for 4 servings), 1 tablespoon olive oil (2 tbsp for 4), salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. On one side of a baking sheet, toss potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, half the Fry Seasoning (all for 4 servings) and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast on the top rack for 10 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. Spread sour cream evenly over the tops of the chicken. Press the panko mixture onto the sour cream, mounding it and pressing firmly to adhere (do not coat the undersides). Place chicken on a second baking sheet and roast on the middle rack until golden brown and cooked through, 15-20 minutes.
  5. While chicken roasts, in a large bowl, toss carrots and broccoli with a drizzle of oil and season with salt and pepper. After the potatoes have roasted 10 minutes, remove the sheet from the oven. Carefully add the carrots and broccoli to the empty side of the sheet. Return to the top rack and roast until potatoes are crisp and broccoli and carrots are lightly charred, 15-20 minutes more. (Keep an eye on the potatoes; they may finish first.)
  6. Toss the roasted broccoli and carrots with lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste. For extra richness, toss with 1 tablespoon butter (2 tbsp for 4 servings). Divide chicken, potatoes, carrots and broccoli among plates. Serve with remaining lemon wedges.

Recipe Tips

For extra-crispy potatoes, spread them in a single layer and avoid overcrowding.

If the potatoes finish before the veggies, remove them from the sheet and keep warm.

Pat the chicken dry thoroughly to help the sour cream and panko adhere better.

FAQ

Can I use regular chicken breasts instead of cutlets?

Yes, but you may need to pound them to an even thickness (about ½ inch) for even cooking. Adjust roasting time as needed.

What can I substitute for Fry Seasoning?

A mix of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper works well.

Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?

You can chop the vegetables and prepare the panko mixture in advance. Assemble and roast just before serving for best texture.
