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). Grease a large baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs with paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and oil. Toss until evenly coated and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Whisk in the flour and cook for another minute, stirring continuously to create a roux.
  • Slowly pour in the milk while whisking to prevent lumps.
  • Add the salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Stir in the Parmesan cheese and part of the mozzarella cheese until smooth and creamy. Remove from heat.
  • Arrange the sliced potatoes evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  • Pour the garlic Parmesan sauce over the potatoes, ensuring all slices are coated.
  • Place the seasoned chicken thighs on top of the potatoes.
  • Generously brush each chicken thigh with honey barbecue sauce.
  • Cover the dish tightly with foil.
  • Bake the Honey BBQ Chicken with Creamy Parmesan Potatoes for 40 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and continue baking for 15–20 minutes, or until the chicken is caramelized and the potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Garnish with chopped parsley for freshness.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables or a crisp green salad.
  • Sharp cheddar can replace mozzarella for a stronger cheese flavor.
  • Add cooked mushrooms between the potato layers for extra richness.
