Ingredients
Instructions
- Wash and dry produce. Quarter the potatoes (peel if desired). Finely chop the chives. Trim and dice the cucumber into ½-inch pieces. Dice the tomato into ½-inch pieces.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, season the potatoes with salt and pepper. Add the garlic herb butter and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave until tender and steaming, 6-7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side. Turn off the heat; transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil. Wipe out the pan. Heat another drizzle of oil in the same pan. Add the cream sauce base, Parmesan and chives; cook, stirring, until smooth and slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.
- In a second medium bowl, combine the mixed greens, cucumber, tomato and honey Dijon dressing; toss to combine. Divide the chicken, potatoes and salad between plates. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and potatoes. Serve.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispy potatoes, spread them on a baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes after microwaving.
If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or chicken broth to reach desired consistency.
Substitute chicken cutlets with boneless skinless chicken breasts pounded to even thickness.
FAQ
Can I use regular chicken breasts instead of cutlets?

How do I make the potatoes without a microwave?
Boil quartered potatoes in salted water for 10-12 minutes until tender, then toss with garlic herb butter.
Can I prepare any components ahead of time?
You can chop the vegetables and chives up to a day in advance. Store them separately in the fridge.
