Recipe information

  • Yield

    1 Servings

Ingredients

½ cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 chicken drumsticks
1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 ounces trimmed string beans
1 teaspoon Champagne vinegar

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°. Mix yogurt and mustard in a medium bowl. Toss chicken in yogurt mixture to coat. In a large plastic bag, shake together panko, 1 tsp. salt, and pepper. Add chicken, toss until coated, and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet with a rack. Roast until chicken is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the drumsticks registers 165°, 40–50 minutes. Let cool completely.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, cook string beans in boiling salted water until bright green and just tender, about 2 minutes. Drain beans and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Drain, toss with vinegar, and season with salt. Pack cold chicken and string beans in separate containers.
