Hot honey chicken with BBQ roasted potatoes & buttery broccoli

2 servings  prepared 

Here's what you get:


Sour cream 
Mike's hot honey 
Sweet and Smoky BBQ seasoning 
Chicken cutlet 
Broccoli florets 

Not used:
Yukon Gold potato (not pictured)
Pancake bread crumb (not pictured)

Substitutes:
Gluten-free breadcrumb
Parsnip

The parsnips:

The parsnips were prepped with the same directions for the potatoes. After cutting them into appropriate sized pieces they were drizzled with a little bit of avocado oil and some barbecue seasoning before roasting at 425 degrees for 15 minutes.

The broccoli:

The broccoli was steamed in a pot for about 10 minutes towards the end of the chicken cook time. After steaming it was rolled in butter until the butter was melted then salt and pepper were added.

The protein:

The chicken was prepped with the sour cream and crumb topping. This went into the oven along with the parsnips and cooked for 18 minutes.

During plating the hot honey was added to the chicken.

The plate:


The parsnips were decent trade off but I should have baked them a bit longer for the size of the cuts 20 minutes would have worked better I think. This is one of the more simple dishes so will the flavors were nice but overpowering for any of the components.

Bacon butter!

Making: Today I'll be making bacon butter. Whenever I make bacon I save the grease. Now that I have enough it will be turned into batches of bacon butter.  I used about 2.75 sticks of butter total. Cut into jars then I let them sit until the butter was close to room temperature.  The bacon fat I have collected (Stored in the refrigerator) was heated in bits over a double boiler until liquified but not too hot.  The melted bacon fat was poured over the butter. You can use a strainer to get rid of and chunky bits and then mixed until well incorporated. The smaller jars have just over 3 oz butter. The bigger jar has 4.3 oz butter.  Here are the finished jars. These will be stored in the fridge and used to cook veggies and sear meats. You could also put herbs in the jar for different flavors. - Kris
