Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Schnucks honey
- 4 tbsp. hot sauce, divided
- 1/2 tsp. chipotle chili powder
- 4 cups cornflakes
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp. Schnucks smoked paprika
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 large sweet potatoes, skin on, cut into wedges
- 2 tbsp. fresh chopped thyme
- 2 tbsp. Schnucks olive oil
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 lemon, juiced & zested
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together honey, 2 tbsp. hot sauce, 1 tsp. Cajun seasoning and chipotle chili powder. Cook 5 minutes or until hot and bubbling. Season with salt (if desired). Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a Ziploc bag, crush cornflakes. Add Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika and remaining Cajun seasoning. Close bag and shake to mix. Empty bag into a shallow bowl and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk eggs and remaining hot sauce together, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
- On a cutting board, split chicken breasts in half, pound each portion flat until 1/4β1/2 inch thick. Dip each chicken piece in egg wash, then dredge chicken in cornflake mixture, one at a time, covering fully. Place on prepared baking sheet, lying flat, in a single layer.
- In a medium bowl, combine sweet potato wedges with chopped thyme, olive oil and salt. Toss together until coated evenly in oil. Spread in a single layer on sheet pan with chicken. Bake in oven for 20β25 minutes, until sweet potatoes are crisp and golden brown and chicken is cooked through.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic powder and black pepper. Taste lemon aioli and add salt (if desired). Refrigerate covered until ready to serve.
- Serve chicken hot (reserving two of the breasts for the salad on Wednesday) and drizzled in honey sauce with sweet potato wedges and lemon aioli for dipping.
