Cook Along

1 Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce:

Fill a medium pot with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the green beans into 1-inch pieces. Medium dice the potatoes. Halve the tomatoes. Roughly chop the almonds. Zest the lime to get 1 teaspoon (if you don’t have a zester, use a peeler to remove the green rind of the lime, avoiding the white pith; mince the rind). Halve the lime crosswise; squeeze the juice into a medium bowl. Add the mayonnaise, lime zest, and half the sour cream; season with salt and pepper. Whisk to combine.

2 Blanch & shock the green beans:

Fill a medium bowl with ice water and add a pinch of salt. Set aside. Add the green bean pieces to the pot of boiling water. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until bright green and slightly tender. Leaving the pot of water boiling, using a slotted spoon or tongs, immediately transfer the cooked green beans to the bowl of ice water. Let stand until cool. Drain thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels.

3 Cook the potatoes & make the potato salad:

Add the diced potatoes to the same pot of boiling water. Cook 15 to 17 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot. Add the salsa verde, shocked green beans, halved tomatoes, and remaining sour cream; season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

4 Cook the chicken & serve your dish:

While the potatoes cook, pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season on both sides with salt, pepper, and enough of the spice blend to coat (you may have extra). In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken. Cook 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.* Transfer to a cutting board; carefully slice crosswise. Serve the sliced chicken with the potato salad. Top the chicken with the sauce. Garnish with the chopped almonds. Enjoy!

* An instant-read thermometer should register 165°F for chicken.

5 Make ahead modifications:

Prepare as directed, then transfer the potato salad, sliced chicken, and sauce to separate airtight containers. Cool, uncovered, then cover and refrigerate. Transfer the chopped almonds to a zip-top bag and set aside. Serve as directed in Step 4. Enjoy!
