Directions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, BBQ sauce, olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and optional chili powder until smooth and glossy.
- Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20–30 minutes, or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
- Choose your cooking method:
- Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 6–8 minutes per side, brushing with extra sauce, until internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
- Oven: Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Place chicken in a baking dish and bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway and basting with sauce.
- Stovetop: Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, then reduce heat, add extra sauce, cover, and cook until fully done.
- While the chicken cooks, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add halved potatoes and cook for 12–15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain well.
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
- Pour in the cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Add the drained potatoes to the skillet and gently toss to coat them evenly in the garlic Parmesan sauce. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
- Plate the creamy potatoes and top with the glazed Honey BBQ Chicken. Spoon extra sauce over the chicken if desired. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives before serving.
