Cookware
aluminum foil · baking sheet pan · chef's knife · colander · cutting board · grater · measuring cups · measuring spoons · medium saucepan · mixing bowls · oven mitts · potato masher · stirring spoon · tongs · vegetable peeler
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil if you like easy cleanup, then brush or spray the sheet with oil.
- In a medium bowl, mix the grated cheddar cheese with bread crumbs and the spices to form the coating.
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels, then cut each breast horizontally to create thin cutlets; place them on a cutting board.
- Spread mayonnaise on both sides of the cutlets, then press them into the cheddar coating so it clings well; place the coated cutlets on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with a small amount of oil.
- Roll or toss the broccoli florets and cut stems in a bit of oil, then season with salt and pepper; spread them on the opposite side of the sheet from the chicken.
- Bake, turning the chicken halfway and tossing the broccoli midway, until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is tender, about 15–18 minutes.
- While the chicken and broccoli bake, wash, peel, and dice the sweet potatoes; place them in a medium saucepan and cover with hot water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and simmer the sweet potatoes until tender, about 10 minutes; drain and mash with oil, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- To serve, divide the mashed sweet potatoes, chicken, and broccoli among plates and enjoy.
Two tips
- Prep the broccoli alongside the chicken so everything cooks together efficiently for a quicker weeknight meal.
- Leftovers can be reheated in a warm oven or skillet; mash and reheat separately if needed, and serve with a quick drizzle of olive oil.
