Cooking Steps
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- While the pan heats, pat chicken dry with paper towels.
- Coat all over with Dijon. Season with half the Montreal Spice Blend (use all for 4 ppl).
- When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Sear, until golden-brown, 1-2 min per side.
- Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 11-12 min.**
- Reserve any drippings to add to gravy.
- Meanwhile, peel, then cut potato into 1-inch pieces.
- Cut cauliflower into bite-sized pieces.
- Add cauliflower, potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-high. Cook, uncovered, until fork-tender, 10-12 min.
- Drain and return veggies to the same pot, off heat.
- Mash 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter into veggies until almost creamy. (NOTE: Cauliflower-potato mash will still have a few lumps!)
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, peel, then cut shallot into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Cut zucchini into 1/4-inch rounds.
- When cauliflower and potatoes start boiling, add zucchini, garlic salt and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to an unlined baking sheet. Season with pepper, then toss to coat.
- Roast zucchini in the top of the oven until tender-crisp, 12-14 min.
- When chicken is almost done, carefully wipe the same pan (from step 1) clean, then reheat over medium.
- When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl the pan until melted.
- Add shallots. Cook, stirring often, until shallots soften slightly, 2-3 min.
- Sprinkle flour over shallots. Cook, stirring often, until coated, 1 min.
- Gradually whisk in 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) water until smooth.
- Add broth concentrate, soy sauce and any drippings from the baking sheet with chicken. Bring to a simmer over medium-high.
- Once simmering, cook, whisking occasionally, until gravy thickens slightly, 2-3 min.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Thinly slice chicken.
- Divide chicken, cauliflower-potato mash and zucchini between plates.
- Spoon shallot gravy over chicken.
If you've opted to get chicken thighs, cook them in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the pork chops.
