Ingredients
  

For the Honey BBQ Chicken:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/2 cup honey

1/3 cup BBQ sauce (your choice)

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

For the Creamy Garlic Parmesan Potatoes:

2 lbs baby potatoes, halved

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tbsp butter

1 tsp dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

Chopped chives or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken:

    - In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, BBQ sauce, soy sauce, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

      - Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them well with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for better flavor).

        Cook the Potatoes:

          - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

            - In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the baby potatoes and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

              - In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

                - Pour in the heavy cream, bring to a simmer, and then stir in the Parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.

                  - Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet, sprinkle with thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss until well coated in the creamy sauce. Keep warm.

                    Cook the Chicken:

                      - Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

                        - Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).

                          - Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

                            Serve:

                              - On a platter, arrange the creamy garlic Parmesan potatoes as a base. Top with sliced honey BBQ chicken.

                                - Garnish with chopped parsley or chives for a fresh touch. Enjoy your meal!
