Customize It Instructions

  • If using antibiotic free chicken, pat dry. Follow same instructions.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Cut potatoes into large evenly-sized chunks. Peel first, if desired.

    Finely crush walnuts in shipping bag.

    In a mixing bowl, combine 1/3 the cream cheese (reserve remaining for mashed potatoes) and mustard (to taste). Set aside.

    Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate.

    Pat chicken dry. Season both sides with a pinch of salt.

  2. 2

    Make the Mashed Potatoes

    Bring a medium pot with potatoes covered by water to a boil.

    Once boiling, cook until fork-tender, 14-18 minutes.

    Add white portions of green onions to hot pot and cook until softened, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Reserve 1/2 cup potato cooking water. Drain potatoes in a colander/strainer and return to pot.

    Add 2 Tbsp. reserved potato cooking water, remaining cream cheese, 1/2 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Mash until combined and smooth.

    If too thick, add additional reserved potato cooking water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Cover and set aside to keep warm.

    While potatoes cook, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Roast the Chicken

    Place chicken on prepared baking sheet. Evenly top with cream cheese mixture, then walnuts, pressing gently to adhere.

    Roast in hot oven until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 20-25 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven.

    While chicken roasts, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Crisp the Bacon

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add bacon to hot pan. Stir occasionally until crispy, 1-2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Vegetables and Finish Dish

    Add slaw mix, half the savory seasoning (remaining is yours to use as you please!), 2 Tbsp. water, and brown sugar to hot pan with bacon. Stir occasionally until vegetables are tender, 3-5 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping mashed potatoes with green portions of green onions. Slice chicken, if desired. Bon appétit!
