Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1/3 cup BBQ sauce (choose your favorite variety, gluten-free if needed)

Potatoes

  • 1.5 pounds Yukon gold or red potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks to ensure uniform cooking. Toss them with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: While the potatoes roast, pat the chicken breasts dry, then coat them generously with honey and BBQ sauce. Use a bowl or zip-top bag to evenly distribute the sauce for maximum flavor absorption.
  3. Cook the Chicken: After the potatoes have been roasting for about 15 minutes, place the marinated chicken breasts on a separate baking tray or pan. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce forms a sticky glaze.
  4. Combine and Garnish: Once both chicken and potatoes are cooked, plate them together. Optionally, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top to add a pop of color and fresh flavor before serving.

Notes

  • Cut potatoes evenly to ensure they cook uniformly without burning.
  • Pat chicken dry before glazing to help the sauce adhere and caramelize better.
  • Use a wire rack on your baking sheet for the chicken to allow heat circulation and even cooking.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after baking to keep it juicy.
  • Reserve some extra BBQ honey sauce for dipping or brushing midway through cooking for richer flavor.
