Honey BBQ Chicken
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 cup honey barbecue sauce (your favorite store-bought or homemade)
Creamy Garlic Parmesan Potatoes
- 6–7 Yukon gold potatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Prep the Chicken: In a large bowl, season the chicken thighs with paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle with oil and toss until evenly coated. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the spices to infuse into the meat.
- Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Whisk in the flour to form a roux, stirring constantly for another minute to cook the flour. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Add garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat, then stir in Parmesan cheese and a handful of mozzarella until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Dish: Grease a baking dish and arrange the thinly sliced Yukon gold potatoes in layers. Pour the creamy garlic Parmesan sauce evenly over the potatoes, making sure all slices are coated. Nestle the seasoned chicken thighs on top of the potatoes. Generously brush each piece of chicken with honey barbecue sauce.
- Bake to Perfection: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes until the chicken is caramelized and the potatoes are tender and bubbly.
- Optional Broil: For a crispier top, broil the dish for the last 2–3 minutes until the chicken surface is golden and lightly charred. Serve hot.
Notes
- You can substitute Yukon gold potatoes with russet or red potatoes as preferred.
- Add chopped parsley or green onions on top before serving for a fresh burst of color and flavor.
