Ingredients
  

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

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
  • 1½ cups grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs with paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and oil. Toss well until evenly coated. Set aside while preparing the potatoes.
  • 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 and cook for another minute, stirring constantly to create a roux.
  • Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously until smooth.
  • Add salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • Stir in the Parmesan cheese and a portion of the mozzarella cheese until fully melted and creamy.
  • Arrange the sliced potatoes evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  • Pour the creamy garlic Parmesan sauce over the potatoes, ensuring the slices are well coated.
  • Place the seasoned chicken thighs on top of the potatoes.
  • Brush each chicken thigh generously with honey barbecue sauce.
  • Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and continue baking for 15–20 minutes until the chicken is caramelized and the potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese if desired.
  • For extra color and texture, broil for 2–3 minutes before serving.
  • Serve the Honey BBQ Chicken with Creamy Garlic Parmesan Potatoes hot and enjoy.

Notes

  • Add steamed broccoli or green beans for a complete meal.
  • Sharp cheddar can replace part of the mozzarella for a stronger cheese flavor.
  • For a smoky twist, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the potatoes.
  • Serve with a fresh garden salad to balance the richness.
