   Place sweet potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender when pierced with a fork, ⏱️ 15-20 minutes . Drain and return sweet potatoes to pot. Mash off heat with reserved maple syrup, half the sour cream (you’ll use the rest later), 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. Cover to keep warm.

   Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. Lightly oil a baking sheet with vegetable oil and place chicken cutlets on one side. (For 4 servings, spread chicken out across entire sheet.) Evenly spread remaining sour cream onto tops of chicken; mound with panko mixture, pressing to adhere (no need to coat the undersides). Roast chicken on middle rack for ⏱️ 8 minutes (you’ll add more to the sheet then).

   While chicken roasts, toss green beans in a medium bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Once chicken has roasted 8 minutes, remove sheet from oven and carefully add green beans to empty side. (For 4 servings, leave chicken roasting and add green beans to a second sheet; roast on top rack.) Continue roasting until chicken is cooked through and green beans are tender, ⏱️ 12-15 minutes more.

   green beans: 12 oz
