Spicy Maple Chicken with Mashed Sweet Potatoes & Roasted Green Beans

Step 1

• Adjust rack to middle position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Peel and dice sweet potatoes into ½-inch pieces. • Reserve 1 tsp maple syrup (2 tsp for for sweet potatoes; pour remaining into a small bowl. Stir in a pinch of salt and chili flakes to taste. Set aside.

Step 2

• Place sweet potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender when pierced with a fork, 15-20 minutes. • Drain and return sweet potatoes to pot. Mash off heat with reserved maple syrup, half the sour cream (you’ll use the rest later), 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. Cover to keep warm.

Step 3

• While sweet potatoes cook, place 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a second small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, 30 seconds. • Stir in panko, Fry Seasoning, 1 TBSP olive oil (2 TBSP for 4), and a big pinch of salt.

Step 4

Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. Lightly oil a baking sheet and place chicken on one side. (For 4 servings, spread chicken out across entire sheet.) Evenly spread remaining sour cream onto tops of chicken; mound with panko mixture, pressing to adhere (no need to coat the undersides). Roast chicken on middle rack for 8 minutes (you’ll add more to the sheet then).

Step 5

While chicken roasts, toss green beans in a medium bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Once chicken has roasted 8 minutes, remove sheet from oven and carefully add green beans to empty side. (For 4 servings, leave chicken roasting and add green beans to a second sheet; roast on top rack.) Continue roasting until chicken is cooked through and green beans are tender, 12-15 minutes more.

Step 6

Divide sweet potatoes, chicken, and green beans between plates. Drizzle chicken with spicy maple syrup and sprinkle with more chili flakes if desired. Serve.
