From the Test Kitchen

For this comforting dish, we’re coating chicken in layers of dijonnaise and a savory topping made with airy panko breadcrumbs and melty fontina cheese before baking, which helps keep the chicken juicy as it cooks. Herby roasted potatoes and a side salad of arugula and spinach tossed with balsamic-marinated tomatoes round out the dish.

Prepare & roast the potatoes
1 Prepare & roast the potatoes

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Large dice the potatoes. Place in a large baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and the Italian seasoning. Toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer. Roast 10 to 12 minutes, or until slightly tender when pierced with a fork. Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven.

2 Marinate the tomatoes & make the dressing

Meanwhile, halve the tomatoes; place in a bowl. Add the vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. In a separate, large bowl, whisk together the honey and 1 tablespoon of olive oil; season with salt and pepper.

Coat & roast the chicken
3 Coat & roast the chicken

Peel 1 clove of garlic; using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate into a paste. Melt the butter in a medium bowl in the microwave (or melt in a pot on the stove, then transfer to a medium bowl). Add the breadcrumbs, garlic paste, and fontina. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. Carefully place on top of the partially roasted potatoes. Evenly spread or brush the dijonnaise onto the seasoned chicken, then top with the cheesy breadcrumbs (pressing gently to adhere). Tightly cover the baking dish with foil. Roast 12 minutes. Carefully remove the foil. Continue to roast 10 to 12 minutes, or until the topping is browned, the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, and the chicken is cooked through.* Remove from the oven and let stand at least 2 minutes before serving. 

*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 165°F for chicken.
