CHEDDAR-CRUSTED CHICKEN WITH BUTTERY MASHED SWEET POTATOES AND ROASTED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. Peel and dice sweet potatoes into ½-inch pieces.

Toss broccoli on a second baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place chicken on middle rack and broccoli on top rack. Roast until chicken is cooked through and broccoli is browned and tender, 15-20 minutes. TIP: Broccoli may finish before chicken. If so, remove from oven and continue roasting chicken.
• Meanwhile, mash sweet potatoes with 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP butter for 4 servings), remaining sour cream, and a large pinch of salt. Keep covered until ready to serve. TIP: If you like your sweet potatoes extra sweet, add a pinch of brown sugar or a drizzle of honey while mashing.
