Cooking Steps
- Finely chop almonds.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then panko and almonds. Toast, stirring often, until golden, 2-3 min.
- Remove from heat.
- Transfer almond-panko breading to a shallow dish.
- Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels.
- Season chicken with salt and pepper.
- Coat all over with mayo.
- Working with one chicken thigh at a time, press both sides into almond-panko breading to coat completely.
- Transfer coated chicken to a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle with 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil.
- Roast chicken in the middle of the oven, until golden-brown and cooked through, 18-20 min.**
- Meanwhile, peel, then cut sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Add sweet potatoes, 1 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1-2 inches) to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl).

- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered, until fork-tender, 10-12 min.
- Drain and return sweet potatoes to the same pot, off heat.
- Mash 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and cream into sweet potatoes until smooth.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice Brussels sprouts

If you've opted to get chicken thighs, no need to butterfly them. Simply coat and cook them in the same way the recipe instructs you to coat and cook the chicken breasts.
