Yield: 2
Hello Fresh
Season a pair of chicken cutlets with garlic and rosemary, seared to perfection in a hot pan, then drape them in a rich, velvety onion gravy. On the side are buttery sour cream mashed potatoes with even more of that luscious, savory gravy, and garlicky roasted green beans. After this meal, the rest of the evening should be …well, gravy! Cook: 35 – 45
- 12oz potatoes
- 3TBS sour cream
- 1oz beef stock concentrate
- 6oz green beans
- 1tsp garlic powder
- ½tsp dried rosemary
- 1TBS flour
- 12oz chicken cutlets
- 1onion
- salt & pepper
- olive oil
- cooking oil
- butter
Prep:
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425°F. Wash and dry produce.
Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Trim green beans if necessary. Halve, peel, and finely dice half the onion.
Cook potatoes:
Place potatoes in a large pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. Reserve 1 cup potato cooking liquid, then drain.
Return potatoes to pot. Add sour cream and 2 TBS butter, mash until smooth and creamy, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. Cover and set aside until ready to serve.
Roast green beans
While potatoes cook, toss green beans on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, half the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 12-15 minutes.
Cover with foil to keep warm until ready to serve.
Season & Cook Chicken:
Pat chicken dry with paper towels, place between two large pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with a mallet or rolling pin until chicken is about ½ inch thick. Season all over with the rosemary, remaining garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken, cook until browned and cooked through, 5- to 7 minutes per side.
Turn off heat, transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out pan and let cool slightly.
Make gravy:
Melt 1 TBS butter in pan used for chicken over medium-low heat. Add diced onion, cook, stirring, until softened, 2- to 3-minutes.
Sprinkle onion with flour, stir until coated. Whisk in ½ cup water and stock concentrate. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 2- to 3-minutes.
Tip: If gravy seems too thick, stir in another splash of water.
Serve:
Divide chicken, mashed potatoes, and green beans between plates. Spoon onion gravy over chicken and mashed potatoes. Serve.
