Instructions

Prepare the ingredients & marinate the scallion:
Preheat the oven to 475°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve the buns. Halve the sweet potato lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. Quarter the peppers lengthwise. Cut off and discard the root end of the scallion. Thinly slice the scallion and place in a bowl with 2/3 of the vinegar. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, for at least 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Roast the sweet potato:
Place the sweet potato on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to thoroughly coat. Arrange in a single, even layer. Roast, turning halfway through, 17 to 19 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven and top with the marinated scallion and marinating liquid; carefully toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Make the sauce:
While the sweet potato roasts, in a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, horseradish, spice blend, and remaining vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Coat & cook the chicken:
While the sweet potato continues to roast, place the flour on a plate. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. Thoroughly coat the seasoned chicken in the flour (tapping off any excess); transfer to a separate plate. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the coated chicken and cook 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and cut in half.

Toast the buns:
Add the buns, cut side down, to the pan of reserved fond. (If the pan seems dry, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.) Toast on medium-high 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly browned. Transfer to a clean, dry work surface.

Assemble the sandwiches & plate your dish:
Spread as much of the sauce as you'd like onto the cut sides of the toasted buns.Top the bun bottoms with the halved chicken and peppers; complete the sandwiches with the bun tops. Divide the sandwiches and roasted sweet potato between 2 dishes. Enjoy!
