How to make it
1
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. Finely chop sunflower seeds. Finely chop half the Parmesan (you’ll use the rest in Step 5). Zest half the lemon. Quarter lemon.
2
Place 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, 30 seconds.Let cool slightly, then stir in sunflower seeds, chopped Parmesan, lemon zest, half the panko (all for 4), and a pinch of salt and pepper.
3
Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Evenly spread tops of chicken with mustard. Mound with sunflower coating, pressing to adhere.Roast on top rack until browned and cooked through, 15-20 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine honey Dijon dressing, mayonnaise, and hot sauce.
5
Trim and discard root end from lettuce; chop leaves into bite-size pieces. Core and thinly slice apple.In a large bowl, whisk together 1 TBSP honey Dijon mayo (2 TBSP for 4 servings), a large drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of sugar, salt, pepper, and as much lemon juice as you like. TIP: If the dressing tastes too tangy, add another pinch of sugar. If it’s not tangy enough, add another squeeze of lemon juice. Add lettuce, apple, and remaining Parmesan to bowl with dressing; toss to coat.
6
Divide chicken and salad between plates. Drizzle chicken with as much remaining honey Dijon mayo as you like. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges and any remaining honey Dijon mayo on the side.

Answer 5 quick questions. We'll match you to the top 3 from 24 services we track.
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I tracked my meal delivery spending through three summers. The pattern’s embarrassing: June hits, I promise myself I’ll meal prep and eat clean, then by July I’m ordering Chipotle at 9 PM because it’s 95 degrees and I can’t face turning on the stove. August? Full...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I went vegan for 90 days while working 60-hour weeks. Not because I’m some wellness influencer with a meal prep Sunday ritual. because I wanted to see if it was actually possible without turning into the person who brings sad lettuce to every work lunch. The...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I fed a family of six for three months using nothing but meal delivery services. My Costco membership gathered dust. My freezer became a staging area for Blue Apron boxes instead of bulk chicken thighs. The math shocked me. A family of six ordering Chipotle twice...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I spent last summer testing every meal delivery service that promised to keep me eating clean while Nashville hit 95 degrees by 10 AM. The goal: figure out which services actually deliver fresh food that doesn’t wilt in transit, and which ones are just marketing “summer...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I’ve cooked through a lot of meal kits trying to impress dates. Some worked. Some. did not. The difference between a fun couples’ cooking night and a kitchen disaster comes down to three things: timing (nobody wants to be chopping onions at 9 PM), difficulty (if...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I spent three months ordering from every meal delivery service that claims to be “senior-friendly.” Some of them actually are. Most just slapped a stock photo of a smiling grandparent on their homepage and called it a day. Here’s what actually matters if you’re over 65...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I spent three months feeding my nephew dinner from meal delivery services. He’s eight, picky as hell, and thinks vegetables are a personal attack. By week two, I had strong opinions. Here’s what I learned: most meal kits aren’t actually designed for kids. They’re designed for...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I’ve spent more money on date night meal delivery than I care to admit. Not because I’m some kind of romantic. because I got tired of the same three restaurants and the “what do you want to eat” standoff that kills the vibe before you even...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I tracked my mom’s Uber Eats spending for a month. $387. That number made me physically uncomfortable. She’s not ordering fancy stuff. just dinner because she’s exhausted after work and the idea of chopping vegetables sounds like a personal attack. The delivery apps know this. They...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I spent $420 on a week of Sakara meals. That’s not a typo. $420 for five days of plant-based food delivered to my door in Brooklyn. The box showed up looking like it belonged in a Goop photo shoot, packed in compostable materials with little cards...
