(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Meals

Ingredients

  • 4 Sweet Potato
  • 1 tablespoon Fry Seasoning
  • 1 cup Panko
  • 12 ounce Sugar Snap Peas
  • 24 ounce Chicken Tenders
  • 1/2 cup BBQ Sauce
  • 4 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 ounce Honey
  • 7 teaspoon Olive Oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Directions

  1. Wash and dry all produce. Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Cut sweet potatoes into ½-inch cubes. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Push toward one side of sheet. Roast in oven until tender, about 20 minutes total (we’ll add more to the sheet after 10 minutes).

  2. In a small bowl, mix together ½ TBSP fry seasoning (we sent more), panko, a drizzle of olive oil, and salt and pepper (to taste).

  3. After sweet potatoes have roasted 10 minutes, remove from oven and give them a toss. Add snap peas to the other side of sheet. Toss with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Return sheet to oven and roast until veggies are tender and lightly browned, 8-10 minutes more.

  4. Pat chicken dry with a paper towel. Season all over with salt and pepper. Place in a large bowl along with ½ TBSP barbecue sauce (save the rest for dipping sauce) and toss to coat. Transfer to a lightly oiled baking sheet and spread out in a single layer. Sprinkle panko mixture over top of chicken, pressing gently to adhere. TIP: It’s OK if not all the breadcrumbs stick—you’ll likely have some left over.

  5. Bake chicken in oven until no longer pink in center, 7-9 minutes. Once done, heat broiler to high and place chicken under broiler. Broil until panko is golden brown, about 2 minutes. TIP: If you don’t have a broiler, increase oven temperature to 500 degrees and bake until panko is golden brown, 2-3 minutes.

  6. In another small bowl, combine mustard, honey, and remaining barbecue sauce. Divide chicken, sweet potatoes, and snap peas between plates. Serve with sauce on the side for dipping.
