Ingredients
Scale
For the 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)
For the 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
Instructions
- 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 all pieces are evenly coated. Let the chicken sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the spices to infuse.
- Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Whisk in the flour to create a roux, stirring constantly for another minute. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking to prevent lumps from forming. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Let the sauce simmer and thicken slightly for about 5 minutes. Finally, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and a handful of mozzarella until smooth and creamy. Turn off the heat.
- Assemble the Dish: Grease a baking dish and layer the thinly sliced Yukon gold potatoes evenly on the bottom. Pour the creamy garlic parmesan sauce over the potatoes, ensuring each slice is thoroughly coated. Nestle the seasoned chicken thighs on top of the potatoes. Brush each piece generously with the honey barbecue sauce.
- Bake to Perfection: Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the chicken is caramelized, the potatoes are tender, and the sauce is bubbling.
- Optional Broil: For a crispy, golden top, broil the dish for the last 2–3 minutes until the chicken skin is lightly charred and the cheese is golden. Watch closely to prevent burning.
Notes
- You can substitute Yukon gold potatoes with russet or red potatoes if desired.
- Add chopped parsley or green onions on top before serving for a fresh, colorful garnish.
