Cooking Steps

Cook potatoes
1

Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Add potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered until almost fork-tender, 8-9 min. (NOTE: Potatoes will finish cooking in step 4.)

Prep and make green onion sour cream
2

Meanwhile, trim green beans, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Drain pickles, reserving pickle juice, then finely chop. Thinly slice green onions. Add 1 tbsp green onions (dbl for 4 ppl) and sour cream to a small bowl. Season with a pinch of garlic salt and pepper, to taste, then stir to combine.

Cook chicken
3

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. While the pan heats, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with pepper, BBQ Seasoning and half the garlic salt. When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil, then chicken. (NOTE: Cook chicken in 2 batches for 4 ppl, using 1/2 tbsp oil per batch.) Cook until golden-brown and cooked through, 3-4 min per side.**

Cook green beans
4

After potatoes have cooked for 8-9 min, add green beans to the pot with potatoes. Cook until potatoes and green beans are fork-tender, 3-4 min. Drain and return potatoes and green beans to the same pot, off heat.

Make potato salad
5

Add pickles, mustard, reserved pickle juice, mayo, remaining green onions and remaining garlic salt to the pot with potatoes and green beans. Season with pepper, to taste, then stir to combine. (TIP: Add 1/2 tsp sugar [dbl for 4 ppl], if desired.)

Finish and serve
6

Divide chicken and potato salad between plates. Dollop green onion sour cream over chicken.

Review summary

Updated on Sep 2026
  • Flavour: The warm dill pickle potato salad is a standout — tangy, hearty, and genuinely surprising; the BBQ-seasoned chicken is well-liked, though some found the applewood smoke spice a different experience from the classic BBQ blend.
  • Ease of prep: This is a straightforward recipe that comes together quickly, and several reviewers noted it is easy enough for kids and teens to help prepare.
  • Suggestions: Reduce the pickle quantity or use only half the pickle juice if you prefer a milder tang; use garlic powder instead of garlic salt to better control saltiness, and consider adding a pinch of sugar to balance the acidity.
  • Leftovers: The potato salad tastes even better the next day, making it a great option for lunch; the chicken is best eaten fresh as it can dry out when reheated.
  • Portions: A few reviewers noted the potato and chicken portions felt slightly small, particularly for larger appetites, and suggest adding a few extra potatoes to round out the meal.
