3
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine panko, cheddar, half the Fry Seasoning, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with remaining Fry Seasoning, salt, and pepper.
4
Place chicken on one side of a baking sheet; brush tops with half the sour cream (you’ll use the rest in the next step). Mound coated sides with panko mixture, pressing to adhere (no need to coat the undersides).Toss green beans on empty side of sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.Roast on top rack until chicken is cooked through and green beans are browned and tender, 18-22 minutes.
5
Meanwhile, mash sweet potatoes with 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings), remaining sour cream, and a big pinch of salt. Keep covered until ready to serve. TIP: If you like your sweet potatoes extra sweet, add a pinch of brown sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup while mashing.
