Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is the ideal temperature for baking the chicken to ensure it’s cooked through and tender.
Prepare the BBQ honey glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, BBQ sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. This mixture will coat the chicken, giving it a deliciously sweet and savory glaze.
Coat the chicken: Coat each chicken breast evenly with the BBQ honey glaze, making sure to cover both sides of the chicken. Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Bake the chicken: Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The glaze should caramelize slightly during baking, creating a beautiful, flavorful coating.
Prepare the potatoes: While the chicken is baking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and set them aside.
Make the creamy garlic Parmesan sauce: In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can turn bitter.
Add the heavy cream to the pan and bring it to a simmer. Stir occasionally and let it cook for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly. The cream will create a rich, smooth base for the sauce.
Finish the sauce: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, and continue to cook and stir until the cheese has fully melted and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine the potatoes with the sauce: Add the drained, cooked potatoes to the creamy garlic Parmesan sauce. Stir gently to coat the potatoes evenly in the sauce, making sure they are fully covered and soaked in the rich, cheesy mixture.
Garnish and serve: Once the potatoes are well-coated in the creamy sauce, transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and extra freshness.
Serve: Plate the Honey BBQ Chicken alongside the Creamy Garlic Parmesan Potatoes. This hearty, protein-packed meal is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Enjoy the balance of sweet, savory, creamy, and fresh flavors in every bite!
