Description

Mesquite is a tree species native to Mexico and the American Southwest. When smoked, the wood imparts a distinctive sweetness and aroma to foods. Capture that essence with this tangy spiced chicken breast served alongside "loaded" potato wedges. This is a low-calorie meal that'll definitely light your fire.

Cut potato into ¼” wedges. Place on prepared baking sheet and toss with 1 Tbsp. olive oil, ¼ tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Spread into a single layer on one half of baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned, 20 minutes. While potatoes bake, prepare ingredients.

Quarter mushrooms. Halve grape tomatoes. Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate. Rinse chicken breasts, pat dry, and season both sides with 1 Tbsp. seasoning blend (reserve remaining for mushrooms).

Heat 1 tsp. olive oil in a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts to hot pan and cook until golden brown on one side, 2-3 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and set aside. Chicken will finish cooking in a later step. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

After potatoes have baked 20 minutes, carefully remove baking sheet from oven. Place chicken breasts, seared side up, on other half of baking sheet and flip potatoes. Bake until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees and potatoes are golden brown, 8-10 minutes. While chicken and potatoes are baking, cook mushrooms.

Return pan used to sear chicken to medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add mushrooms and white portions of green onions to hot pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned, 5-7 minutes. Season with remaining seasoning blend.

Place a serving of potatoes on a plate and garnish with shredded cheddar-jack cheese, mushrooms, tomatoes, sour cream, and green portions of green onions. Add chicken breast to plate and brush with BBQ sauce. Slice chicken breast if desired.
