Cooking steps
1
  • Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

  • Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces. Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Halve, peel, and finely dice onion. Roughly chop mint. Trim ends from cucumbers. Using a peeler, shave each cucumber lengthwise into ribbons, rotating as you go, until you get to the seedy core; discard core.

  • Toss carrots and potatoes on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, half the Fry Seasoning (you’ll use the rest later), salt, and pepper. Spread out in a single layer on one side of sheet. (For 4, spread veggies out across entire sheet.)

2
  • Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; drizzle with oil and season all over with remaining Fry Seasoning, salt, and pepper. (TIP: See a feather? Simply grip the end using a paper towel and pull!) Place chicken, skin side up, on opposite side of sheet from veggies. (For 4 servings, place chicken on a second sheet. Roast chicken on top rack and veggies on middle rack, swapping rack positions halfway through.)

  • Roast on top rack until veggies are tender and chicken is browned and cooked through, 35-45 minutes. TIP: To ensure chicken is cooked through, insert a thermometer into the innermost part of the thigh and breast (avoiding any bones). Once chicken is cooked, the bones may still appear pink—this is OK!

3
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add half the onion; cook, stirring, until softened and lightly browned, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Reduce heat to medium; stir in peas, cream sauce base, and 2 TBSP water (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 2-3 minutes.

  • Turn off heat. Using a potato masher, mash peas until chunky. Stir in mint, Parmesan, and 1 TBSP plain butter (2 TBSP for 4); season with salt and pepper. Set aside. TIP: Right before serving, reheat over medium heat with a splash of water.

4
  • In a small bowl, combine cream cheese and half the dressing (all for 4 servings).

  • Evenly spread cream cheese mixture on one side of bread slices. Arrange cucumber ribbons on half the bread slices; top with remaining bread slices, cream cheese sides down.

  • Cut crusts off bread, then halve each sandwich diagonally. Transfer to a plate; refrigerate until ready to serve.

5
  • Melt 1 TBSP plain butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) and a drizzle of oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add remaining onion; cook, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes.

  • Sprinkle onion with flour; stir until coated. Whisk in stock concentrates and ½ cup water (1 cup for 4). Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 2-3 minutes. TIP: If gravy seems too thick, stir in another splash of water.

6
  • Once chicken and veggies are done, let chicken rest for at least 5 minutes. Transfer veggies to a large bowl and toss with garlic herb butter.

  • Divide chicken, roasted veggies, and creamed peas between plates. Serve family style with gravy and cucumber sandwiches on the side.
