Ingredients
  

For the Honey BBQ Chicken
  • 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs) Thighs offer a juicer option, while breasts are lean and easy to work with.
  • 1/4 cup honey Use pure honey for the best flavor. Local varieties can give it a unique spin.
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce Your favorite brand works, but try to go for one with natural ingredients. Homemade BBQ sauce can elevate the dish!
  • 1 tbsp olive oil Extra virgin olive oil complements the other flavors beautifully.
  • Salt and pepper Season to your palate's preference!
For the Garlic Parmesan Potatoes
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, diced evenly Their creamy texture makes Yukon Golds the ideal choice for this dish.
  • 2 tbsp butter Room temperature is key to help it melt evenly.
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic provides a pungent aroma that can’t be beaten.
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream For that luxurious creaminess, don’t skimp on quality.
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese Make sure it's freshly grated for a better melt and flavor!
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) Adds a pop of color and freshness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the honey, BBQ sauce, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until well blended.
  3. Take your chicken breasts (or thighs) and thoroughly coat them in the honey BBQ glaze. Place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Cooking
  1. Pop the chicken in the oven for 25-30 minutes. For those caramelized edges, broil for the last 2-3 minutes—watch closely as they can burn fast!
  2. While the chicken is baking, bring a pot of salted water to boil. Add the diced Yukon Gold potatoes and cook until fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes) before stirring in the heavy cream. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes before whisking in the freshly grated Parmesan until smooth.
  4. Toss the boiled potatoes into the creamy garlic sauce and gently stir to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  5. Plate the creamy garlic parmesan potatoes, top them with slices of the baked BBQ chicken, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for color.

Notes

Chef's Tip: If your potatoes seem too thick, feel free to add a splash more cream! For a little zing, consider adding a splash of lemon juice before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
