    Sheet Pan Pimento Cheese Chicken with Potatoes & Snap Peas
    Title
    • 2 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
    • ¾ lb Potatoes
    • 4 oz Sugar Snap Peas
    • 2 Tbsps Mayonnaise
    • 1 oz Pickled Peppadew Peppers
    • 2 oz White Cheddar Cheese
    • ¼ cup Panko Breadcrumbs
    • ¼ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
    • 1 Tbsp Sherry Vinegar
    • 1 Tbsp Weeknight Hero Spice Blend (Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Smoked Paprika & Whole Dried Parsley)
    Prepare the ingredients
    1 Prepare the ingredients

    Arrange two oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch rounds. Grate the cheddar on the large side of a box grater. Roughly chop the peppers. In a bowl, combine the grated cheddar, mayonnaise, breadcrumbs, chopped peppers, and half the spice blend; season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

    2 Roast the chicken

    Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. Transfer to a sheet pan. Roast 8 minutes. Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven. Evenly spread the pimento cheese onto the partially roasted chicken. Place on the upper oven rack and roast 10 to 12 minutes, or until the topping is browned and the chicken is cooked through.* Remove from the oven.

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

Toss to coat; arrange in an even layer on one side of the sheet pan. Place on the lower oven rack and roast 15 minutes. Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven.

    4 Prepare the snap peas

    Meanwhile, pull off and discard the tough string that runs the length of each snap pea pod; place in a bowl. Add the vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
