Jennifer Garner figures out what to make for dinner on TikTok — just like the rest of us!

While talking to PEOPLE about her long-term partnership with KitchenAid, the actress revealed what viral chicken dish is her “new favorite.”

“My little sister recently made me this viral TikTok lemon chicken,” says the Once Upon a Farm co-founder, clarifying that the recipe is from Jeremy Scheck (also known as ScheckEats). “It was so flipping good that I'm making it tonight.”

Scheck’s Honey Lemon Chicken was initially shared in June 2020 and garnered almost 2.8 million views and 400,000 likes. The recipe, which comes from the cookbook author’s mother, has been reposted by the TikToker over the years and shared on his website.

Garner says the social media-approved dish would work perfectly with her “staple side dish:” roasted sweet potatoes.

“I roast sweet potatoes and I cook them in oil,” she explains, adding that she plays with the seasoning. “Sometimes I'll put taco seasoning on them, sometimes it's just salt and pepper or a little fresh thyme or rosemary from my garden. They go with anything.”

She continues, “A roast chicken and those potatoes — you just really can't go wrong.”

This isn’t the only go-to potato recipe that Garner turns to regularly. The 13 Going on 30 star says that Emily Blunt’s English Roasted Potatoes are “still a total staple.”

Back in 2022, the mom of three told PEOPLE that she makes the dish “constantly.”

"Rarely a week goes by that I'm not in [the kitchen] peeling potatoes trying to make them like Emily's,” she said of the dish, which was included in Ina Garten's 2020 cookbook, Modern Comfort Food. “My kids love them."

Another part of Garner’s regular diet is coffee.

"If I could marry coffee I would," the actress jokes. "I love coffee."

This love made Garner’s role in unveiling KitchenAid’s new Espresso Collection a natural fit. Plus, Garner has already integrated the semi and fully-automatic machines, which range in price from $700 to $2,000, into her ever-changing coffee routine.

"Almost always, I'll have an almond milk cappuccino, but sometimes I go flat white and sometimes I go cortado," she tells PEOPLE of her favorite orders.
