Ingredients
Scale
For the Honey BBQ Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/2 cup smoky BBQ sauce (choose your favorite)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking chicken)
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Garlic Potatoes
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes, washed and halved
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Garnish
- Fresh parsley or thyme, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Garlic Potatoes: Wash and halve the potatoes. In a large bowl, toss them with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread the potatoes evenly on a baking sheet.
- Roast the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast the potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes until they are golden and crispy, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
- Marinate the Chicken: While the potatoes roast, combine honey and BBQ sauce in a bowl. Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly with this mixture. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors; for best results, marinate for 1-2 hours or overnight in the fridge.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Place the marinated chicken breasts in the pan and cook for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and nicely glazed. Spoon extra honey BBQ sauce over the chicken while cooking to boost flavor.
- Combine and Serve: Once the potatoes are tender and crisp and the chicken is cooked through, plate them together. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or thyme. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful dinner.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
- You can substitute baby potatoes with Yukon gold or red potatoes.
- Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
- Feel free to use your favorite BBQ sauce variety (smoky, spicy, or sweet).
- Chop herbs fresh right before serving to keep them vibrant.
