From the Test Kitchen

This easy take on deviled chicken (ours gets its sharp, zesty flavor from mustard and spices like paprika and cumin) is served alongside a verdant duo of blistered shishito peppers and tender green beans. A hearty side of rice tossed with our romesco sauce is perfect for soaking up the creamy lemon sauce spooned over the chicken just before serving.

Prepare & coat the chicken:
1 Prepare & coat the chicken:

Arrange two oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven, then preheat to 450°F. Line two sheet pans with foil. In a medium pot, heat the butter on medium until melted (or melt in a bowl in the microwave). Transfer to a large bowl. Whisk in the spice blend and mustard until thoroughly combined; season with salt and pepper. On a large plate, combine the breadcrumbs and cheese; season with salt and pepper. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. Working one piece at a time, thoroughly coat the seasoned chicken in the spiced mustard butter (letting the excess drip off), then in the seasoned breadcrumbs (pressing to adhere). Transfer to one sheet pan; arrange in an even layer.

Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. 

Prepare & roast the vegetables:
